Bio-Augmentation: A large focus of the story is placed on "Neural Mods" that alter thought processes and/or how the user's brain works. For instance, the "Sentinel" mod allows a person to stay focused and alert through long periods of inactivity (where a normal person would get bored and distracted), and "Boss" allows a person to play with their circadian rhythm (allowing them to fall asleep at-will or set aside the effects of fatigue). Nick, in particular, modded himself to not be bothered by his wife's death (by just leaving his emotionless crisis-mode mod running 24/7 from the moment she died), which is implied to be semi-common in society. More conventionally, the book also mentions that most southern Australians have modded their skin to be black (regardless of their original ethnicity) to combat increased solar radiation from the destruction of the ozone layer. | |

Assimilation Plot: Possibly. The entire planet gets turned into RealityWarpers and may or may not Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence before restoring the status quo, so that some portion of their greater-selves can continue living normal human lives on Earth | |
