* [[Character Development]]
* [[Video Game Cheats|Cheat Codes]]: Genetic engineering, although the prevailing attitude seems to be that there is [[No Transhumanism Allowed]].

Line 242:
* [[Crapsack World]]: Definitely in parts of the Middle East and Africa. Also, North Korea.
* [[Crippling Overspecialization]]: Often, a prodigy will be encouraged to develop their talents to the detriment of other essential life skills.

* [[Critical Annoyance]]: Shortness of breath, heart attacks, and other such symptoms of impending death. Wheezing, and allergies, which is your immune system being messed with.
* [[Crossover]]: [[Augmented Reality]]
