Amazingly Embarrassing Parents: Zoey's mother insists on her taking cranberry pills to avoid getting a UTI even though there is a good chance Zoey is going to her death.... and works as a stripper at a Zombie-themed topless bar. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Futuristic Violence and Fancy Suits / int_1484dba1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: Everyone in Blink's obsessive need to tape everything, and the Hyena's specific need to kill Zoey for an audience after dramatically monologuing (to the point that Armando has time to shoot him while he's trying to get his camera back), foreshadow Molech's biggest weakness: He's a diva. The novel opens on Zoey trying to get Stench Machine down from the roof because he's terrified of a hologram on the lawn. At the climax, Stench Machine's reaction to a holographic Arthur Livingston gives away the ruse. Early on Armando sarcastically jokes that he doubts any of the landscapers or custodians are especially hungry for revenge, unbeknownst to him, at least one of them is... | |

Does This Remind You of Anything? | |
| Futuristic Violence and Fancy Suits / int_14ed6ab7 | comment |
Does This Remind You of Anything?: Will gives Zoey a talk about the history of Tabula Rasa and the principles behind it that is essentially a "Reason You Suck" Speech for the whole city. He gives special attention to Arthur's belief that enough money and technology can solve all of the city's social ills, and how naive an idea that turned out to be. In real life, Pargin has frequently criticised tech billionaires like Mark Zuckerberg for espousing the same view while their products visibly make the world worse. | |

Heel–Face Door-Slam: Before his death Arthur was growing to regret the way he made his money, turning to religion and buying the Raiden tech with the intent of making a superhero out of Armando to assuage his conscience. He gets blown to smithereens before he can actually enact his plan. | |

Awesome, but Impractical: One of Arthur's cars is an old Bugatti that still has an internal combustion engine that is high-powered enough to violate energy laws—Armando points out that driving it around the block would result in a $500 ticket. Exaggerated when Wu winds up driving it and the whole car explodes the first time we see it used. | |

My Master, Right or Wrong | |
| Futuristic Violence and Fancy Suits / int_2dae4381 | comment |
My Master, Right or Wrong: Molech's henchmen are fanatically loyal to him, doing such things as surgically installing implants that are known to fail catastrophically and prioritizing firing on Molech's enemies over preserving their own lives. Molech insists their dedication is not to him but to "the juice," a sort of chauvinist-supremacist ideology. | |

Strange Minds Think Alike: One of the many names the Jackal considers is "The Hyena", but he rethinks when he remembers that female hyenas have penises (which is kind of true) and worries that people might think he has weird genitals. Just a few pages later when Will mentions him by that name Zoey's first thought is to wonder if he can give birth through his penis. | |

Kick the Dog | |
| Futuristic Violence and Fancy Suits / int_34dcfc96 | comment |
Kick the Dog: Just in case you were starting to think that Arthur was a loveable rogue, part of his backstory goes into how he met Will, Budd, and Andre. It involves him sex trafficking underage refugees out of a war zone, then sending one specific teenage girl back to the father that she chose a life of sexual slavery over. The flashback ends with the statement that a dead woman in her early twenties appearing in front of Livingston Tower isn't a particularly unique event. | |

Boring, but Practical: Arthur has a whole garage full of fancy cars. The two vehicles that get the most use are an armored sedan that's ugly but safe and a box truck covered with high definition screens that let it impersonate any vehicle of roughly that shape. Subverted in that the sedan proves instrumental in The Mole kidnapping Zoey. | |

Technology Marches On: Just starting to leak in. The all-electric, self-driving cars in the novel are said to have become mainstream starting in 2020. Additionally, the augmented reality glasses that are ubiquitous in the setting seemed like the next technological innovation when the book was being written, but never took off in the real world. | |

Author Tract | |
| Futuristic Violence and Fancy Suits / int_4eaa9b84 | comment |
Author Tract: The novel opens on Zoey being inconvenienced by Stench Machine's reaction to a hologram. From that point on, the novel drives home the point that technology that feeds on humanity's baser instincts—from Blink's glorification of torture to Raiden literally killing people overeager to use it—will always make civilization worse, and trusting in more tech and money to fix those issues is far more likely to cause more problems than answers. Will even gives a "Reason You Suck" Speech about Tabula Rasa as a whole toward the end of the novel lampshading the idea. In real life, Pargin has frequently criticised tech companies whose products have visibly undermined democracy or otherwise made the world worse out of a misguided believe that more money and tech would undo the damage. | |

Black-and-Grey Morality: The Suits and their deceased boss Arthur are not good people, having dabbled in sex trafficking, allowing the city to fall into decay while they live like kings and Arthur conceived Zoey with a 16-year-old stripper when he was in his 30s. That being said, they have the potential to make things better under Zoey's management, while Molech's gang are terrorists in the truest sense of the word. | |

Once Done, Never Forgotten: Will's badass nickname, "the Magician", came about when he made the mistake of fiddling with his stress coin in front of a camera. He hates it. The Suits are also frankly gleeful about reminding him of the time he tripped while demonstrating a fake superweapon and got them all thrown in a war prison and nearly executed. | |

| Futuristic Violence and Fancy Suits / int_729c69f3 | comment |
Politically Incorrect Villain: Molech enjoys threatening Zoey with gang-rape when he's not making fun of her weight. His views on black people also make his henchmen cringe a few times. Arthur Livingston might also count. Part of his backstory explicitly involves sex trafficking of refugees that Arthur knows for a fact are underage. | |

| Futuristic Violence and Fancy Suits / int_7315fd38 | comment |
Covers Always Lie: The book's blurb on Audible references a group called "The Men in Fancy Suits," and describes a city full of superheroes, painting a picture closer to something along the lines of Soon I Will Be Invincible than the sarcastic Cyberpunk novel it is. | |

New Media Are Evil: The plot is predicated on a near-future platform called Blink where millions of people stream their lives through smart glasses or small cameras. The plot specifically relies on Blink hosting content that includes torture and murder. For comparison, YouTube and Twitch struggle with issues like profanity and exposed nipples. | |

Artistic License – Law: Tabula Rasa has no local government and thus effectively no laws. Why things like torture, mass murder, and sex trafficking are never pursued by Utah state or US federal law enforcement is never explained. In the final scene, it’s speculated by Will that it’s because the city is full of wealthy political donors and that the federal government is not feeling quick to expose to its enemies that most of their weapons are useless in the face of the modern anti-weapon technology that’s available in the city’s black market. However, he also figures that the government can’t remain uninvolved forever. | |

Infinite Supplies: The Suits never run out of assets; Zoey even lampshades that a changed plan leaves a brand new car worth about a hundred-thousand dollars parked in the garage, unused. To be fair, Arthur was a billionaire and Livingston Enterprises was richer still, and the difference between a billion dollars and infinite dollars is smaller than it seems. A special mention is the caterpillar, which is able to fabricate complex gadgets made of all sorts of exotic materials without needing to.be reloaded. | |

Deliberate Values Dissonance: Arthur and the Suits have done a lot of bad things, and the narrative does not let you forget it. Zoey's and Arthur's ages (22 and 58, respectively) are revealed early on. Zoey's mother's age isn't revealed until more than halfway through: 38. Meaning Arthur knocked her up when he was 36 and she was 16. | |

Zoey discovers she's earned one of these herself: Cat Boobs. Parodied with "The Jackal/Hyena/Lion/Piranha" who can't settle on a good alias and ends up constantly changing it, at one point going with "The Bite-Master" when rushed. | |

Abusive Parents | |
| Futuristic Violence and Fancy Suits / int_b11ac9f5 | comment |
Abusive Parents: Zoey doesn't have a good record with father figures. Her mom seems genuinely kind, if a bit oblivious. Zoey's biological father knocked up her mom up and vanished, laying eyes on Zoey exactly twice before dying. He then left her an inheritance that served as a lightning rod for every thug and villain Tabula Rasa could scrape together. Zoey has a burn on her shoulder from when one of her stepfathers held her down to an electric stove and turned it on. She still has nightmares about him. Another stepdad found an excuse to barge in on her whenever she was indecent. She makes it clear that it was much about making her uncomfortable as it was about seeing her body. Will mentions that his father used to beat him with a metal chain for offences such as wearing a badly-pressed shirt. | |

Never Suicide: Zoey still has nightmares of Jezza, the stepfather who left her with a burn scar from holding her down to an electric stove a decade earlier. He conveniently commits suicide in his prison cell during the events of the novel, shortly after she had mentioned the experience to someone else. Zoey's gut makes her think it wasn't suicide, and a brief conversation with Will reinforces her feelings. | |

"Reason You Suck" Speech: Molech is fond of delivering these when someone tries to negotiate with him, insisting that he doesn't negotiate; he is the strong, and he takes from the weak, and they have no say in it.

Walking Shirtless Scene: Molech and his henchmen are all buff and shirtless at all times, even though the novel takes place in December. | |

Interchangeable Asian Cultures | |
| Futuristic Violence and Fancy Suits / int_d5a060a8 | comment |
Interchangeable Asian Cultures: Parodied and Played With, twice actually: Wu is ethnically Chinese and was born in California, but plays into Japanese Samurai tropes, seemingly because he thinks it's just cooler, and Echo is assumed to be a genius Chinese computer hacker for the entire book, until she reveals near the end that most of her computer skills are just common sense and she's actually Filipino. | |

The Unfettered | |
| Futuristic Violence and Fancy Suits / int_d839c530 | comment |
The Unfettered: Molech positively delights in dispensing with any form of civility, preferring to take what he wants by force and to let his victims know that's exactly what he's doing. Threats of graphic violence and sexual assault make up perhaps a quarter of his dialogue. | |

All Girls Want Bad Boys | |
| Futuristic Violence and Fancy Suits / int_db2f3581 | comment |
All Girls Want Bad Boys: Deconstructed. Zoey's mom is definitely into bad boys, and this has been directly responsible for most of Zoey's childhood trauma. All three of her stepdads were cruel to her, but she still has nightmares about the one who held her to an electric stove and turned it on, leaving her with a distinctive "rainbow scar" on one shoulder; she refuses to wear tank tops to keep it hidden. Additionally, a major plot point is her mom being oblivious to the malice of one of Molech's goons, letting him drive her to an isolated area for the express purpose of getting leverage against Zoey. | |

Red Herring | |
| Futuristic Violence and Fancy Suits / int_dbca2c99 | comment |
Red Herring: Once Molech slips that there's a mole among the suits, the book takes pains to point out suspicious behavior among pretty much every member. Echo is the newest member of the group, Will describes a manipulation tactic that perfectly matches a stunt Budd and Andre pulled, and Wu disappears to get rid of a spider right before an important meeting. Once it's revealed that it was Gary the Gardener the entire time, all of these become obvious red herrings. | |

Brick Joke: During the Hyena's viewpoint chapter, he debates whether he wants to be called, "the Hyena," because he seems to remember something about female hyenas having penises and giving birth through them and is concerned that might muddle the meaning of the moniker. The first thing out of Zoe's mouth when she learns she's being chased by a guy calling himself "the Hyena," is, "Does he give birth through his penis?" | |
