fragmentary identity construction – people trying to figure out who they are (present and future), -> link to Memento as Leonard doesn’t remember anything about his present self – ”you don’t even know who you are”
people no longer have spiritual beliefs so they are focused on what they do in this world -> fun orientated as they believe once they die there is nothing
Not trusting media as there is false/fake news -> link to memento as he cannot trust Natalie or Lenny, and Leonard saying no one trusts him due to his condition
