And some more tropes...



'''Unmarked spoilers ahead!'''



* BrownNote: Little Pesha incident has village population encounter [[CreatingLife artificial lifeforms]] that are this to most humans, keyword being "most".

* BrownNote: Little Pesha incident has village population encounter [[CreatingLife artificial lifeforms]] that are this to most humans, keyword being "most"."[[SecretTestOfCharacter most]]".


Added DiffLines:

* IntelligenceEqualsIsolation: True for the Homo Ludens, at least in regards to the rest of humanity.
-> '''LOGOVENKO:''' That varies. It's not as simple as you think. The most typical model of the Ludens' attitude toward man is the attitude of an experienced and very busy adult for a cute but terminally annoying kid. Then picture the relationship: Luden and his father, Luden and his best friend, Luden and his teacher...


Added DiffLines:

* SerialEscalation: One of the Luden admit that human psyche hides other inactive systems, similar to the one that allows creation of Homo Ludens, and not even them know what would result from their activation.
* TomatoInTheMirror: Toivo Glumov.


Added DiffLines:

* TranshumanTreachery: Played with. Homo Ludens are not threatening humanity, since every candidate is screened in regard to their morals before the initiation, and rigorous teaching process ensures they stay that way. However, they have a hard time maintaining their human circle of friends and family. See IntelligenceEqualsIsolation entry above.
* WeWillHavePerfectHealthInTheFuture: A norm for the Noon universe. In fact, here what draws attention is an inexplicable series of refusals by new mothers to let their kids undergo fukamization procedure.

added a few tropes

Added DiffLines:

* BittersweetEnding: Following their discovery, [[TranshumanAliens Homo Ludens]] leave Earth en-masse.
* BrownNote: Little Pesha incident has village population encounter [[CreatingLife artificial lifeforms]] that are this to most humans, keyword being "most".


Added DiffLines:

* HiddenInPlainSight: Homo Ludens run a facility that sorts humans to find candidates for uplifting and assimilation into their ranks. They disguise it as so-called Institute of Eccentrics that supposedly sorts humans to find "metapsychically talented".
* LiteraryAgentHypothesis: The book is explicitly stated to be written by an in-universe character, with FictionalDocument qualities being a deliberate stylistic choice of his.
* ProperlyParanoid: What COMCON-2 service perceives as their mission.
-> "We are workers of COMCON-2. We are allowed to be called ignoramuses, mystics, and superstitious fools. There is one thing we are not allowed: to underestimate danger."
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: The Wizard of [[Literature/InhabitedIsland Saraksh]] pulls this off within first day of visiting Earth - presumably due to sensing Wanderers.


Added DiffLines:
