Reincarnation is the premise of _Cloud Atlas_ (Mitchell). It calls its 
vat girls "fabricants." They "graduate" after twelve stars of service.
    Why twelve years? Are the vat girls physically worn out by then or 
does their clientele crave virgin meat?
    Implanted microchips are called "souls" in the Mitchell. "A Soul's
value is the Dollar therein." And "art imitates life:"
