Tying into what Bethany said, I thought the merged company names were hilarious as well. They made it feel like there was even less of a connection between these massive corporations and people. I think that dissociation was another big thing in the story. Nearly every time they mentioned the head of CraveTech (her fake boyfriend/ future husband) they discussed how oblivious he was. But at the end it turned out he knew everything and already had plans to expand both his industry and profits. This entire idea is very relevant to us now with targeted online ads based on our browsing history and interests. We all like to think that these large impersonal corporations know nothing about us but in fact they have a lot of information on us. In many ways Lindsley tries to make this idea just as scary as the ability of others to control our desires and ultimately our actions.
