F.A.Q.

Robots, Mecha ("Giant robots" in previous version), Cyborgs, Replicants ("Androids" in previous version)

Those themes looks very similar. Robots - mechanical creations made from metal that looks like machines and acts on its own. Mecha - same thing, but piloted by humans. Cyborgs are robots that disguise them self as a living humans. Replicants - artificial humans created via genetic engineering or cloning. Cyborg is actually a robot and an android/replicant at the same time, that is why they have their own group.

Computers, Virtual reality.

Computers are more about machines themselves, servers, software and artificial intelligence. Virtual Reality is more about virtual worlds and action inside them.
