## Themes & motifs

- [Machines That Outgrow Us](https://cinepixo.com/topics/machines-that-outgrow-us) (theme) — The question is never whether Ava can think, but whether she can use a man who is certain he is the one running the test.
- [Mirrors and Doubles](https://cinepixo.com/topics/mirrors-and-doubles) (motif) — Ava is assembled out of the search histories of the men assessing her, which is why Caleb mistakes his own reflection for love.
