After watching the rather stunning trailer for Deus Ex 3 yet again, I seemed to have stumbled upon a hint concerning the story and/or theme of the game.

If you pause the teaser at 1:24 (watch here if you want it to be exact: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2uPhs_iHDY&feature=sub&playnext_from=TL&videos=EHkXFUR8uak&playnext=1 ) you'll see the cityscape with a large TV screen near the front, which reads "ELIZA" for a second or two. Feeling inquisitive (and knowing what developers are like with these sorts of things) I decided to type the name into my good friend Wikipedia.

This search turned up this result: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ELIZA_effect .

Now, I'm not entirely sure what I think of it yet (I'll edit this when I've had the chance to consider it) but I thought that posting it for others to speculate on wouldn't be such a bad idea.

Consider it a gift - unless someone else already noticed it anyways.

Interesting find, I'll admit this has increased my interest in the game. If it pulls of transhumanism well enough maybe I'll forigve it for it's crimes aginst aesthetics.
