Things in the future are still pretty much the same, except for a couple of extra addons and yet smaller computers.

* DoAndroidsDream: Yes they do thanks to the G-Net. Android dreams are often referred as the "debug room" with the right side taking care of graphical glitches, and the left side mechanical glitches. Glial robots are just like humans because their algorithms include neuronal feedback performed just like in human astroglial cells. The center of their artificial consciousness is located in the Thalamic Subnetwork, the artificial equivalent of the Thalamus.
* EldritchLocation: Say hello to TAR-Net, a fully virtual labour camp. Fantastic place, join the Transhuman Army now and get your mind uploaded to TAR-Net after you die.

Daily Activities include spying 24/7 on every people owning a Tresisda computer and making written reports to Omniscience local super AI, President Zolnerovich himself.
* EvilInc: Germano-Russian and Polish Software Company Tresisda. From secretly helping Neo-Nazi terrorists to financing paramilitary groups performing underground experimentations on live humans, to the average American. Not to mention that they stole Googol from America and destroyed the whole eastern Market for Picosoft and Axar forcing them to merge into Spartan Soft. Also, they like spying on their loyal consummers in the name of the Father and the Mother Land.
** Star Cloud, Although seemingly just an innocent data storage company on the surface, Star Cloud doubles up as a private intelligence company known as the C-Section, employing a Cabal of women who keep watch over the world economy but not without stealing money by rigging the stock market.
* FakeMemories: The Narrator hints several times that Lauren's memories of her past may not be quite all that accurate. We learned later on that [[spoiler: Lauren's memories were actually incepted inside her head via a virtual reality created from the life of the real Lauren. All that done while she was in a drug induced state, ironically the same process she was using on her patients while working for Marian.]]
* FeministFantasy: The Story is about a woman who runs a military company made solely of womyn, who [[DeadlyEuphemism "Erase"]] people for a living and give psychotherapy to civilian women to convince them to spy for said womyn. Do I need to say more?

* FrenchJerk: Helena, she spends most of the first book refusing to talk to the point of mutism. Beside smelling bad and her bad hairdo from months of solitary incarceration, she doesn't seem to have anything better to talk about than morals, religions and European Superiority. And let's not forget that she's really a [[spoiler: Tri-face bitch secretly working for the United-Bank]].
* FreudianCouch: During her first visit in Livia's office, Lauren notes the presence of a couch under the giant portrait of what is assumed to be a Valkyrie. She only get to sit on the chair though.

** According to the Author's website, the title MARZENA itself is actually a German acronym for "Mitarbeiter Zellen für die Entwicklung der Neuronen Anwendungen," or in English “Cellular Assistants for the Develoment of Neuro Apps”, or in plain English, Software that makes Software.
* GermanicEfficiency: The whole world knows that the real brain behind Tresisda are Germans. The Russians are just there for the marketing.
** Well the whole world knows it except for Americans, they think that the Dragon OS is Chinese.
* HerrDoktor, Subverted in that Dr. Yoan isn't really from Germany or Austria but from Switzerland, and his accent isn't particularly attrocious either.
** Averted with Private Thomas, he's neither German nor a Doctor, but the robot behind his glasses probably is.
** Also note the recurrent use of German-like or Dutch-like surnames for certain other characters like Dr. Lauren Hackenhoek and Dr. Samantha Bergfield, although both are assumed to be American borned.
* HideYourLesbians: Lauren's dream suggest that Livia and Marian could be this, although it's not clear whether this is the case or not. It could also just be Lauren's own repressed inner feelings as being Alexythemic she's unable to know that she doesn't know what her emotions are.
** Because of [[unreliablenarrator Unreliable Narration]], it could also so be that the allusions are really a reflection of the [[AuthorAvatar narrator's]] fantasies rather than the characters.
* HollywoodHacking: Subverted, We got a team of Super Spies holed up in a room with an army of AI worker analysts backing them up, and we're all ready to hack into everybody's computer and... and where are the super computer hackers? The C-Section doesn't do Computerjitsu, you only need to hack the human element. What we need is people who understand human psychology.
* INeedToGoIronMyDog: This happens near the end where Lauren tells Helena to go after Sandra.
* InTheFutureHumansWillBeOneRace: Certain people in the Transhuman Army believe that following the teachings of the Seeder will lead to the eventual creation of a true Master Race. Homo Sapiens is dead, Homo Animus will reign supreme!
* LadyLand: The Star Cloud HQ Building is pretty much this, with both human ladies and robot ladies of course.
* LovelyAngels: Marian and Livia are this.
* ManchurianAgent: Inverted, they're not Manchurian! They're Anti-Manchurian, evil people turned into good people thanks to [[LaserGuidedAmnesia laser-guided brain surgeries]] and then who turns evil again when their brain heals and they recover their memories (It's just artificially induced DID really).
* MindScrew: During the Totally Recalled dream sequence, Lauren comes accross two strange letters written in red on a mirror, fa and sha. What the hell was that about? Not to mention the carpet with big and small circles.
* ParodyCommercial: Transhuman Ambrosia has a whole chapter dedicated to this, we got Tresisda vs Spartan (Dragon OS vs iWin OS), Famous entrepreneur J-Mark Applebaum and his digital son Barry telling you that Tresisda cares about family, and Santa Claus turning velociraptors into long dead rockstars using the new Tresisda Sunglasses.
* PresidentEvil: Russian President, Victor Zolnerovich, is a heavy supporter of Neo-Nazism and is himself a [[spoiler: [[RoboticReveal a clone robot AI]]]]
* RidiculouslyHumanRobots: Life as a Glial Robot is described as being like a human plagued with graphically crappy vision and trapped in a neverending lucid dream. Contrast this with Soulless Neuro Robots like Sirana who can only copy behaviors, but can't replicate the human thought process or feel emotions. Neurobots can't coordinate.
* SacredScripture: The Transhuman Seeder is a collection of books written by Anika From Bremen (Narrator) that demonstrates how the brain works and establishes how this knowledge will create a biological technological and spiritual revolution. The book itself is considered holy by the members of the Transhuman Army.
* SecretTestOfCharacter: Working for Private Intelligence Company, a few of these would be expected. Marian is a big lover of these. She loves asking strange questions just to see how people will react (e.g. Have you ever gone to Michigan?). At some points she goes as far as asking Lauren to [[spoiler: kill Doctor Sam, and we also have Livia who at some point sends Zoé to kill Lauren to test how she handles stressful situation]].
* SpiritWorld: According to Book 1 the surface of the brain, Cortex Land, can be understood as somekind of dreamworld where one can naviguate through either a world of pure context (right hemisphere) or pure content (left hemisphere). Both worlds are inhabited by "biological holograms" the biological equivalent of digital holograms (those pictures of people in your head) which can considered as spirits. Sometimes a spirit goes into the deeper levels of Cortex Land to become a Thalamic Wizard, and then the spirit becomes a self-aware consciousness.
* SignificantAnagram:
** Masatrina, the fictitiously famous killer AI from Television, is an anagram for Samaritan.
** Russia's very own Evil Inc Computer Software company, TRESISDA, is also an anagram for DISASTER.
* TheBaroness: Her name is MARZENA, MARZENA VOLKOLOV! She's pure evil and torture people for fun!
* TheInternetIsForPorn: And so is the HoloLens and the Bremen Chip, time for virtual mind merging porn.
* TheOneGuy: MLK fits this to a T.
* TheSilentBob: Sandra is the female version of this, made more troubling by the Author using French Quotation marks for the few times where she does say anything.
* TheWalrusWasPaul: During the final dream sequence, Lauren must chase after the shadow of a woman with black hair. The Narrator, who we have never met and which we know almost next to nothing about, admits at the end that [[spoiler: the shadow woman was her and that Marian and her were once like sisters]].
* TomatoInTheMirror: Lauren when she realizes that [[spoiler: she's a body double of the real Lauren made by [[MagicPlasticSurgery Plastic Surgery Magic]]]].
** MLK when he goes on a trip to Europe with Lauren and Helena.
* UnreliableNarrator: Anika makes it clear multiple times throughout the story that she wasn't there when it happened. She's just a ghost writer transcribing down thethoughts toughts and memories of the characters.
characters
*RidiculouslyHumanRobots: Life as a Glial Robot ViewersAreGeniuses: Book 1 is described as being like a human trapped in a lucid dream. Contrast very keen on neuroscience with Soulless Neuro Robots like Sirana who can only copy behaviors, but overly detailed explanations that borders on [[TechnologyPorn Techno Porn]]. Even the [[PopCultureBadass Narrator]] admits to it at some point by saying that "if you understood any of this, then I guess you must be a genius now."
* VirtualGhost: Some people thinks that G-Net AIs are this. They're watching you from their own private virtual space and you can'treplicate even see them without your glasses or contact lenses.
* WarriorTherapist: Although physically imposing, Marian only needs her mouth to dismantle anybody and make them do or think whatever she wants. Her most notable adversary is Helena, who is completely obvious to her attempts at making her talk.
** Also Livia, who trains ordinary women into becoming spies and assassins, and emotionally support them throughout their missions. She accurately guesses that Lauren's sister was thehuman thought process one getting more gifts at Christmas.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: The unnamed TAR Kernel, he just disappears after his [[RousingSpeech Speech]] and is never heard of again with no concrete explanation as to where he went orfeel emotions.
what happened to him.
* WrittenSoundEffect: There is quite a few of these throughout the book, *Wherz Wherz*, [[HockeyMaskAndChainsaw lo and behold my circular saw of terror]].
* AmazonBrigade: The C-Section is a groupe of elite women spies and assassins led by a Queen Bee that goes by the name of Marian.
* BabiesMakeEverythingBetter: Go to your local electronic stores and take an appointment with a G-Net Genius. Time to be a parent and buy a new .ngn domain. But they're not just baby Self-Aware AIs, if you take good care of them they will grow up to become little children mule workers, and make you rich by creating neurosoftware that will be used by every company of the world. See? Holo Babies makes everything better for you.
* BadDreams: Lauren has a few of those before going on her mission to Europe. Dreams include giving a gun to a woman with black hair, some kind of fire, being in bed with another woman, and giant baby-faced cockroaches. It is later revealed that those dreams were [[spoiler: Marian's dream projected into Lauren's subconscious because they have neurochemically similar brains. The cockroaches and the red soldiers supposedly represent Lauren's guilt from killing Zoé]].
* Body and Host: [[spoiler: After her surgery at the hand of Dr. Yoan and after her first mind merging with Marian, Lauren gains the ability to temporally become the Queen Bee herself when switching to the proper Apparently Normal State]].
* Bookworm: [[ShrinkingViolet Cute Shy Girl]] Lauren knows everything there is to know about the human brains thanks to spending most of her life downloading textbooks for free hoping to one day become a doctor. She still has yet to read the Transhuman Seeder though.
** Averted with Marian, she gets all her learning from listening to people and having her digital clones read important things for her. Who has time to read these days?
* BilingualBonus: French, Dutch, German, Russian, Swedish, Finnish, you name it, the book is full of it, although they are oftentimes explained by the narrator, and of course they are [[FunetikAksent funetikally]] spelled.
* BlondesAreEvil: Marian.
** Helena too.
** And sandra.
* BrainyBrunette: Livia.
* CanadaEh: Creator/KTMARTEL is from Canada. Do you know how long winter is in this country?
* CoolShades: Gorski, he can't take off his shades or everybody will see that he's a [[MixedAncestry]] (Thanks [[CaptainObvious Captain Obvious]]).
** Also Marian who likes to put on shades when moving between places.
* CyberneticsEatYourSoul: Subverted, you'd think that a super-AI boom would lead to a global dehumanization of the world, but then it just doesn't happen. Glialbots are too humans. Things in the future are still pretty much the same, except for a couple of extra addons and yet smaller computers. The only thing that eats souls are neurobots, but that's just deporsonalization, you don't need computers for that.
** Subverted when Lauren ends up in Dr. [[spoiler: Yoan's chair where the brain operations will seemingly "delete" her forever, but then it doesn't happen, she just becomes more like herself]]. [[TruthInTelevision In Dissociation Idendity Disorder]], integration of personality can't kill alters, even if sometimes they think it can.
* Cyberspace: The Glial-Net, interactions are made easy thanks to holo glasses and holo contact lenses. Give the gift of artificial life, buy a Neuroglial Network Domain today. Hey! If you don't like living in a world of Self-Aware robots go back to Internet Classic.
* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: Marian, working in Counter-Intelligence, you need to see the blow comings. Backup, you always need a backup plan.
* DeathByOriginStory: It's implied that the [[spoiler: real]] Lauren is this.
** According to Helena, President Victor Zolnerovich [[spoiler: already died a few years prior to the story, and digitally cloned himself but not before replacing his human-self with a body double, because robots can't be president of course]].
* DoAndroidsDream: Yes they do thanks to the G-Net. Android dreams are often referred as the "debug room" with the right side taking care of graphical glitches, and the left side mechanical glitches. Glial robots are just like humans because their algorithms include neuronal feedback performed just like in human astroglial cells. The center of their artificial consciousness is located in the Thalamic Subnetwork, the artificial equivalent of the Thalamus.
* EldritchLocation: Say hello to TAR-Net, a fully virtual labour camp. Fantastic place, join the Transhuman Army now and get your mind uploaded to TAR-Net after you die. There you will be able to enjoy a fully encrypted cybernetic world fully isolated from the rest of the Internet and where you will be forced to work for the Russian Government for free for the rest of eternity. Daily Activities include spying 24/7 on every people owning a Tresisda computer and making written reports to Omniscience local super AI, President Zolnerovich himself.
* EvilInc: Germano-Russian and Polish Software Company Tresisda. From secretly helping Neo-Nazi terrorists to financing paramilitary groups performing underground experimentations on live humans, to the average American. Not to mention that they stole Googol from America and destroyed the whole eastern Market for Picosoft and Axar forcing them to merge into Spartan Soft. Also, they like spying on their loyal consummers in the name of the Father and the Mother Land.
** Star Cloud, Although seemingly just an innocent data storage company on the surface, Star Cloud doubles up as a private intelligence company known as the C-Section, employing a Cabal of women who keep watch over the world economy but not without stealing money by rigging the stock market.
* FakeMemories: The Narrator hints several times that Lauren's memories of her past may not be quite all that accurate. We learned later on that [[spoiler: Lauren's memories were actually incepted inside her head via a virtual reality created from the life of the real Lauren. All that done while she was in a drug induced state, ironically the same process she was using on her patients while working for Marian.]]
* FeministFantasy: The Story is about a woman who runs a military company made solely of womyn, who [[DeadlyEuphemism "Erase"]] people for a living and give psychotherapy to civilian women to convince them to spy for said womyn. Do I need to say more?
* FictionalCurrency: The Dollar is long gone by the year 2033. It's all Credits now, same thing except everything is divided by 2 to make people feel richer despite having less money. Some older people seems to have problems dropping the word "dollar" off their vocabulary though.
* FiveStagesOfGrief: Book 1 gives us the Five Stages of Grieft according to Lövheim's Cube (+1): 1. Fear (Pure Dopamine), 2. Rage (Dopamine + Noradrenaline), 3. Shame (Nothing), 4. Angst (Pure Noradrenaline), 5. Contempt (Pure Serotonin), 6. Secret Bonus Backdoor Joy (Dopamine + Serotonin)
* ForeignCussWord: Somebody said Foreign Cusswords? Bllin Märde Yäyfla Hellfeta JÄVLA HORA Gottferdamnten Idioten Schlampa-Bitch-Kunt Ficken Fücken Sodding Sewka You! Sata-nee-fittan Yayzüs Skit, watch your language girl!
* Foreshadowing: "Our 3 little piggies stied into the limousine," then said characters end up in a farm, [[ThereAreNoCoincidences no such thing as coincidence]].
* FrenchJerk: Helena, she spends most of the first book refusing to talk to the point of mutism. Beside smelling bad and her bad hairdo from months of solitary incarceration, she doesn't seem to have anything better to talk about than morals, religions and European Superiority. And let's not forget that she's really a [[spoiler: Tri-face bitch secretly working for the United-Bank]].
* FreudianCouch: During her first visit in Livia's office, Lauren notes the presence of a couch under the giant portrait of what is assumed to be a Valkyrie. She only get to sit on the chair though.
*FunetikAksent: „Vat bedoolt yay fünetik aksent?! Ik spreak me very hroot Englisch!” A great many characters of the story are not native English speakers, so you get some small misshaps every once in a while. Most prominent examples are Livia and the TAR Kernel. Also note the usage of quotation marks where the author makes use of French, Dutch and German quotation marks to denote accent tags (although French Quotation marks can also deno Russian accent tag).
* FunWithAcronyms:
** The nickname of Death Dealer Kevin Fordson, MLK (Mass Lobotomized Killer/ Murdering Low-life Knave)
** Marian's psychometric test classing people personalities based on 4 traits, S.N.O.T. (Social, Nutrition, Oral, Traditional)
** European Secret Intelligence Service, I.J.S. (Intelligence, Justice, Something)
** According to the Author's website, the title MARZENA itself is actually a German acronym for "Mitarbeiter Zellen für die Entwicklung der Neuronen Anwendungen," or in English “Cellular Assistants for the Develoment of Neuro Apps”, or in plain English, Software that makes Software.
* GermanicEfficiency: The whole world knows that the real brain behind Tresisda are Germans. The Russians are just there for the marketing.
** Well the whole world knows it except for Americans, they think that the Dragon OS is Chinese.
* HerrDoktor, Subverted in that Dr. Yoan isn't really from Germany or Austria but from Switzerland, and his accent isn't particularly attrocious either.
** Averted with Private Thomas, he's neither German nor a Doctor, but the robot behind his glasses probably is.
** Also note the recurrent use of German-like or Dutch-like surnames for certain other characters like Dr. Lauren Hackenhoek and Dr. Samantha Bergfield, although both are assumed to be American borned.
* HideYourLesbians: Lauren's dream suggest that Livia and Marian could be this, although it's not clear whether this is the case or not. It could also just be Lauren's own repressed inner feelings as being Alexythemic she's unable to know that she doesn't know what her emotions are.
** Because of [[unreliablenarrator Unreliable Narration]], it could also so be that the allusions are really a reflection of the [[AuthorAvatar narrator's]] fantasies rather than the characters.
* HollywoodHacking: Subverted, We got a team of Super Spies holed up in a room with an army of AI worker analysts backing them up, and we're all ready to hack into everybody's computer and... and where are the super computer hackers? The C-Section doesn't do Computerjitsu, you only need to hack the human element. What we need is people who understand human psychology.
* INeedToGoIronMyDog: This happens near the end where Lauren tells Helena to go after Sandra.
* InTheFutureHumansWillBeOneRace: Certain people in the Transhuman Army believe that following the teachings of the Seeder will lead to the eventual creation of a true Master Race. Homo Sapiens is dead, Homo Animus will reign supreme!
* LadyLand: The Star Cloud HQ Building is pretty much this, with both human ladies and robot ladies of course.
* LovelyAngels: Marian and Livia are this.
* ManchurianAgent: Inverted, they're not Manchurian! They're Anti-Manchurian, evil people turned into good people thanks to [[LaserGuidedAmnesia laser-guided brain surgeries]] and then who turns evil again when their brain heals and they recover their memories (It's just artificially induced DID really).
* MindScrew: During the Totally Recalled dream sequence, Lauren comes accross two strange letters written in red on a mirror, fa and sha. What the hell was that about? Not to mention the carpet with big and small circles.
* ParodyCommercial: Transhuman Ambrosia has a whole chapter dedicated to this, we got Tresisda vs Spartan (Dragon OS vs iWin OS), Famous entrepreneur J-Mark Applebaum and his digital son Barry telling you that Tresisda cares about family, and Santa Claus turning velociraptors into long dead rockstars using the new Tresisda Sunglasses.
* PresidentEvil: Russian President, Victor Zolnerovich, is a heavy supporter of Neo-Nazism and is himself a [[spoiler: [[RoboticReveal a clone robot AI]]]]
* RidiculouslyHumanRobots: Life as a Glial Robot is described as being like a human plagued with graphically crappy vision and trapped in a neverending lucid dream. Contrast this with Soulless Neuro Robots like Sirana who can only copy behaviors, but can't replicate the human thought process or feel emotions. Neurobots can't coordinate.
