* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Later in Season 1, someone bombs Horizen's server farm. While the story is, by this point, deep into the DrivingQuestion of the season, and it can be inferred that the bomber was somehow trying to prevent Nora and Nathan from getting to the bottom of the {{Whodunnit}}, this is never made explicit -- nor is there any follow-up about an act of industrial sabotage concerning a $600-billion industry. (Of course, there's also no explanation as to why Horizen keeps its servers in a Customer Service location in NYC; today, Amazon keeps its rentable server farms in large, temperature-controlled, highly-secured facilities, and there's no {{Watsonian}} reason to assume this is no longer a practice.)

* AutomatedAutomobiles: They're the rule rather than the exception on the West Coast. Nathan likes shutting off his car's camera, plugging in a controller, and racing down the highway. He can usually talk his way out of a speeding ticket, since the car's AI can't confirm that he was driving manually. Cars can be set to follow another, such as when Nathan's car is following Ingrid's while they are engaged in AutoErotica in hers.

* OutgrownSuchSillySuperstitions: It's implied that few people still believe in a spiritual afterlife and most prefer the artificial version. Nora considers her father to be weird for wanting to die and join her mother in the Christian Heaven. She would much rather her father upload himself into Lakeview with her Horizen employee discount, so she wouldn't have to say goodbye and could still visit him.

* RedheadsAreUncool: AI Guy, the Lakeview AI read-headed avatar, gets the least respect of any character in the show. His mannerisms alternate between a bumbling, harried hotel staffer overwhelmed by the requests of the guests and an awkward AI who doesn't understand the subtleties of human interaction.
