Wow, that's a really interesting point! I would never have noticed something like that (or if I did I wouldn't have attributed any importance to it). Thanks for mentioning it!

I noticed that Project Kata's name came from the first two letters of 'Kalin' and 'Taylor' (the 'Ka' from Kalin and the 'ta' from Taylor), so I wondered how the scientists came up with the name for Project Tau. Is "Tau" short for a longer name? If Project Tau is a "clone", then who was he cloned from? He acted like a young child, so was he cloned from another child and given that personality?

I noticed how the author used references to create an image for the audience. I think that a name has a lot of power and it has power towards one's identity. If you remove a name, you remove an identity. A name is given to identify.

Renfield is actually the name of Dracula's ghoul. There's a syndrome named Renfield syndrome that is an obsession with drinking blood.
I found that to be an interesting literary reference since he was as close to a hero as the book had. The person who is famed with helping the non-humans here was the champion on the human who others thought to be non.
Wow! Didn't even know this. This is great to know.

This might be a stretch, but a mason builds things and Mason created the whole company. However, he seems so clueless to me in his understanding of what's going on. 'Go catch them'. Really?
You could say the same thing about Dennison. He literally thought the projects would obey him even at the brink of his death; even at a losing situation, he thought he was superior to them. The audacity in him is mad.
The entire book revolves around Karma. Kata and Tau killing everyone at the facility. Do you think Renfield's death was actually Karma's work for Amy Saunders who turned a blind eye to all the terror happening inside GenTech? Sublte idea. I saw this idea in the
Karma or Romantic-drama? post in this forum.
