* {{spoiler|[[Shoot the Shaggy Dog]]}} {{spoiler|It turns out, Harrison [[Why Don't Ya Just Shoot Him|isn't bulletproof]]. And the government inadvertently wipes his death from his parent's memories.}}
** {{spoiler|And everybody else's memories. However inadvertent, it's still a favorable outcome which the government would no doubt support.}}
* [[Stealth Parody]]: In certain circles, the book has been interpreted as a grossly over-the-top satire of ''[[Anthem (Literature)|Anthem]]'' and similar collectivist dystopias (and the individualist heroes that transcend them), or of Cold War-era American conceptions of egalitarian social goals. Vonnegut himself is not known to have publicly taken this position; as both a socialist and a noted anti-authoritarian, however, his politics could support either interpretation.
* [[Stepford Smiler]]: most of the civils.
* [[Tall Poppy Syndrome]]: Deconstructed.
