I enjoyed the themes of prejudice and racial discrimination as it was very akin to real world issues.

Racism is the obvious theme of the book. it's a pity that people with one kind of abnormality face so many challenges and persecution from the normal ones. aside from this , I also see themes like war, struggle, and determination.

The theme of racism definitely stood out for me in the book. Other themes such as war and patience were equally prominent.

I found racism to be the main theme here. But I also saw the themes of war, survival, segregation, and discrimination.

I hated all the themes in Watchdogs :x I disliked how all the racial discrimination in the book was directed toward abnormals, who are obviously genetically superior to normals. I felt that this was the logical equivalent of reading a story about rich people being discriminated against by the poor by being rich.

In the X-men comic books and their movie adaptations, even though the mutants are genetically superior to normal humans, they often have physical abnormalities that turn them into social outcasts or pariahs. And in some cases, there are mutants like Magneto who try to use their power to take over the world. I think in real life, most of the mutants in X-men and most of the abnormals in Watchdogs would be worshipped as Gods and treated like royalty. I think Watchdogs takes X-men's most unrealistic themes and ideas and amplifies them.

The two themes that I hated the most were the idea that the world would enter a post-apocalyptic scenario for no other reason than human selfishness and the idea that crowds of people would suddenly start fighting each other for no reason other than the fact that they live in a post-apocalyptic world.

I did notice the prejudice and judgment the characters faced because of their abilities. This is reminiscent of what many people face due to racism, bigotry and other discriminatory vices. I think war, conflict, vengeance, and persistence are other prominent themes in the book.

Racism has always been a problem, even in this fictional world. Apart from that, war was another huge theme in the book.

Racism, segregation, hatred, fear, loyalty, and perseverance are some the themes. This book contain so much more, but I cannot mention all of them here.

Persecution goes hand in hand with racism, and I also think it is a central theme to the book.
