 Clones Are People, Too

 Clones Are People, Too: A minor plot point involves the fact that in this time period, it isn't unusual for parents to raise children who are clones of past family members. Jake finds this deeply unnerving and avoids his neighbor George, who is raising 3 cloned daughters. It comes up again when it turns out Yang's theoretical love interest is a clone of a woman he used to know.

 Adoption Angst: Mika deals with this, particularly being a Chinese adoptee into a non-Asian family. Yang helps her feel more secure by showing her how branches can be grafted onto trees and become fully a part of that tree—just like Mika and her adoptive family.

 Artificial Family Member: Yang was bought to help Mika connect with her culture, but the entire family seems to struggle with remembering he's just a bot. Jake even talks at one point about "teaching the family trade" to Yang.

 20 Minutes into the Future: The year is never given, but the world is familiar enough not to feel jarring, while also featuring extremely lifelike machines and fully automated cars.
