Green-Eyed Monster: E becomes jealous of Treadwell's continuing devotion to Cherry, to the point that she hides her memory chip so that he believes that it's lost.

New Old West: Glory Hole, on the outskirts of society, has become very reminiscent of the Old West. This is most evident at the saloon. The massive deflation of currency also brings prices in line with what they'd be in the Old West.

Tranquil Fury: When Lester finds out that Skeet lies about who and what he is doing in Zone 7, he doesn't raise his voice and remains jovial. But his words and subsequent actions show otherwise. His tranquil fury gets even more pronounced when he goes after Sam.

Robotic Spouse: Treadwell essentially treats Cherry as such; he loves her very much. Given that the alternative is needing a lawyer to draw up an agreement for a one-night-stand, it's understandable. This does change when Sam meet's E. Johnson, who more than holds her own.

Walk into Mordor
 Cherry 2000 / int_6fbe7285
comment
Walk into Mordor: The ridiculous checkpoints in the Forbidden Zone that Trackers routinely manage to sneak through. There's only one way to enter Zone 7, really: get picked up by the crazed desert militia's magnetic wrecking crane, get carried over the remains of the Hoover Dam and get deposited over the spillway; then shoot your captors while suspended in midair, deactivate the wrecking crane and safely land in the spillway, cut your car loose from the flimsy rope... This is apparently the "usual way" to get in.

Establishing Character Moment: Cherry waits on Treadwell hand and foot, but her personality has some obvious holes. Her idea of good conversation is to state that a range of products were invented by Americans, and when Treadwell asks her for details, she stares at him blankly and changes the subject.

Used Future: While certain circles of society, including Anaheim, look futuristic and affluent, society and technology are clearly breaking down. Society is desperately in need of recycling, having apparently run out of resources. Technology also isn't what it used to be: Cherry's model is 17 years old, but modern sexbots are not as advanced as her. In the wasteland, society has devolved into a lawless New Old West.

Cyberpunk: The civilized world has clear shades of this. There are human-like sex robots, a mix of technology and old-west, there are restricted "Zones" such as Zone 7 that are controlled by gangs such as Lester's and Trackers that make a living by going into Zones to salvage goods that aren't readily available.

Ridiculous Future Inflation: Inverted, with massive deflation instead. For example, mixed drinks in a bar cost 25 cents, and a hotel room costs $1.50. You can see that Treadwell's wallet is filled with ones. This makes E's fee of $500 actually pretty hefty.
