   I missed all of that.  However there was so much advertising depicted   
   that I could easily have been looking elsewhere on the screen   
   (probably at some portion of the female anatomy, quite a lot of which   
   was depicted in a manner that left little to the imagination).   
   Interesting that neither Amazon nor Apple sprung for product   
   placement--Joi could as easily have been Siri or Alexa (and I now have   
   a horrible crush on Ana de Armas).  But I did notice that K's car was   
   a Peugeot.   
      
   One thing that I did wonder about though was all the solar farms   
   depicted at the beginning--why would anyone build that quantity of   
   solar farms in that climate?
