I put "blood" in graphic because blood and bleeding are frequent topics as they would alert everyone to Victor's existence. Victor does prick his finger which could be seen as self harm since it is intentional, however, it is not due to depression or suicidal ideologies. Victor does have to hunt for food, but it is not described in detail. One of his family members also frequently curses or does the equivalent of cursing and profanity. However, it typically is done to ease tension and add comedy rather than in a way that feels trashy or rude. It does come up that robots have basically commited a mass genocide of the human population, however it is not described in a lot of detail. There are a few scenes with very specific and clearly defined violence, but it is all in support of revealing important information about our main characters. There is a brief period where the main character feels confined and is experiencing massive guilt about not being able to help his family. His family member is kidnapped and torture is implied. Death is interesting in this book, because for androids what is defined as death? Either way, they do contemplate Victor's mortality multiple times throughout the book.
