** Averted and played straight. Most of Albert's dittos are happy with their short lot in life, believing that by using the machine to return their memories to Albert, they get a kind of afterlife and meaning in existence. Frankie however, a flawed copy of Albert who doesn't follow his will, does complain a bit about his situation.
** Clones who know they're not going to rejoin the archetype tend to despair; society has adapted to this, and some volunteers organize the Temple of the Ditsenfranchised to provide some comfort for the dittos who aren't getting an afterlife.

* {{LARP}}: A very common pastime is LARP using dittos; the slang is "[[JustForPun role-claying game]]." At one point, Albert's conflict with Beta is referred to as a very childish one. Beta agrees, but notes that it's [[SeriousBusiness one with serious money at stake]].

Added DiffLines:
* {{Doppelmerger}}: People in the story's setting can copy their brainwaves onto clay "dittoes" that only live about a day and put them to work. If the golem gets back to the original before expiring, or their head is put on ice quickly enough, they can merge back. The main character, a private investigator, usually merges his dittoes, and implants analog voice recorders in them in case they don't make it back in time. However most blue collar workers (and sex workers) don't bother merging with their dittoes.
