Line 30:
* [[Merging Machine]] / [[Tele Frag]]: Mentioned to have happened in ''The Goblin Reservation''.
* [[Monster Clown]]: Subverted. Ulysses from ''[[Way Station]]'' looks like one, but he is a very kind person.
* [[Necessarily Evil]]: Humanity in ''Skirmish''. All human development has been based upon synthetic technology of some kind, and thanks to [[Instant AI, Just Add Water]], people must either revert to savagery or knowingly enslave an entire species. ([[Lamarck Was Right]] isn't an option here--even a ''sewing machine'' comes to life.)
* [[No Transhumanism Allowed]]: Averted for good in ''City'', which eventually brought humanity's downfall. Humans were initially baffled by unexplained disappearances of scientists, transformed to survive the conditions on Jupiter, until one of them finally returned. It happened that the life of the transformed being was so much ''better'', that most population simply left the Earth and their humanity.
* [[Our Dragons Are Different]]: ''The Goblin Reservation''.
