* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Wintermute, as an amoral and emotionless being, treasures its own self-preservation above all else, and prevents anyone from learning about its plans by destroying all evidence of them. And there's no better way to destroy the evidence that human memory represents than destroying the human being whose mind contains the memories in question.

* AssholeVictim: Invoked. Wintermute deliberately put him on the crew because someone as disgusting as Rivera would be easy for the other teammates to knock-off emotionally. [[spoiler: It turns out Rivera's not stupid enough to miss the signs that Wintermute is setting him up to die and turns on the others and the plan as much out of self-preservation as to satisfy his bizarre sexual fetish for betrayal]].

* AddictionDisplacement: Case got into drugs largely as a replacement for his ''true'' addiction: the feeling of being merged into the Matrix.
Added DiffLines:
* ExtremeDoormat: Downplayed, but when Case notices Wintermute's habit of [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness immediately and lethally disposing of its pawns the second they're no longer actively advancing its aims]], he puts the energy he ''could'' spend trying to figure out some way to survive without being maimed again into getting drugs to feel less depressed about it instead.
Added DiffLines:
* FreudWasRight: Case's nerve-mutilation is repeatedly compared to castration, and when it's fixed he almost immediately celebrates by having sex.
