Line 26:
* [[Neural Implanting]]: The axis of the whole plot.
* [[Religion Is Wrong]]: Religion marks its presence in the novel only when Dolly Delaney, the stepmother of Brian, uses a 'playing God' argument to persuade her stepson to give up his research.
* [[Snarky Non -Human Sidekick]]: Sven. Actually, no one can be sure whether his snarkiness is intentional as he is a computer, but it seems that his emerging consciousness implies a slightly sarcastic sense of humour resembling Brian's.
* [[Transhumanism]]: Not surprising, considering that Marvin Minsky's name is on the cover.
* [[Turing Test]]: Not just in the title.
