* TheSingularity: [[spoiler:Zima started his life as a pool-cleaning roomba, became a genius MadArtist android with the body of a Greek god, and then opted to be a pool-cleaning robot again because he basically ''got bored'' of pondering life's big existential questions. At least he retains a bit of sapience, enough to appreciate he's doing a good job cleaning those tiles.]]

* DeathOfPersonality: A voluntary example; in the end, Zima sheds his upgrades, shuts down his higher brain functions and reverts back to a simple cleaning robot, leaving himself with just enough sapience to feel the satisfaction of a job well done.

It eventually turns out that Zima actually used to be a robot that remade itself into a human, before remaking himself into a cyborg; during his climactic self-dismantling, no organic components can be found anywhere in Zima's body.

* PosthumanNudism: The eponymous Reclusive Artist has modified his body to the point of being effectively immortal, being capable of marching through molten magma unharmed, striding barefoot through snowy wastelands, and meditating in deep space without a spacesuit -- all feats being accomplished completely naked. When a lone journalist is allowed to see him, he greets her nude (and apparently without genitals), the better to emphasize his glossy-black artificial skin. However, it also turns out that he's not merely posthuman, but postrobot as well: he was originally a simple pool-cleaning robot before he was gradually remade as a human being by successive generations of owners.

* AimlesslySeekingHappiness: The eponymous robot-turned-human-turned-cyborg has been seeking universal truth through art for over a century, creating progressively bigger and more spectacular murals and augmenting his body beyond the human norm in pursuit of enlightenment. However, he has finally learned that what he really wanted all along was happiness, which he hasn't known since he was just a pool-cleaning robot. As such, Zima's last artwork features him diving into a replica of the pool he used to clean, switching off his higher brain functions, shedding his upgrades, and reverting to the menial machine he started out as - which then begins cleaning the pool again, retaining just enough intelligence to take pleasure in the knowledge of a job well done.
