* CoolBike: When Kitson's father sees his son won't be deterred from motorcycling, he smashes his deathtrap Racer bike and buys him a top-of-the-range Mitsubishi electric motorcycle. Kitson names "her" Mitzi. Keri is initially scornful ("What's that? A sofa with extra-large castors?") but soon changes her tune when she sees what Mitzi's capable of.



* {{Dystopia}}: Maybe not from the perspective of an Est, but from outside and that of an Unnem the world of ''Futuretrack Five'', where people who dissent or simply display too much negative emotion are carted away by the dreaded Paramils to the lobo-farm to have a forcible pre-fontral lobotomy and be re-trained as household servants for morbid Ests to point at at dinner parties; is definitely not one most would want to live in. The Unnems are suppressed and segregated and deliberately herded into the Futuretracks which are purposely designed to keep their numbers down, and the even the Ests have their population controlled via the E-levels, which weeds out excess Est children who fail it as Unnems; stripped of their Est status.

* PopulationControl: The Futuretracks are designed to help thin out the Unnem populace: most are geared towards a life in which either regular contact with direct violence kills followers, or significant (and artificially increased)risk kills them.
