Material desires in the era of fast consumption

The world constructed by this TV series is very close to reality. At present, most of it is the fusion and re-creation of existing technologies, so when I first watched it, it felt very innovative. Everything was like a game upgrade, which is very interesting. . The imperfection of the virtual world conveyed by the girlfriend makes it more like life and is also well reflected. But I personally looked at it carefully and felt that from the perspective of the whole season, the future world is actually pessimistic and negative.

In today's world, the heroine's work is considered a senior white-collar worker. She is proficient in using PS, modeling and other tools, and has some experience in social communication. In the future, he is just a low-level social person who dropped out of school and did not graduate to make ends meet. So as the mainstay of the United States, what kind of work is the middle class doing? I did not find a corresponding image in the play. Even doctors with high status in modern society are reduced to ordinary operators in the play. The wealth is mainly concentrated in the hands of a very small number of people, and basically useful technologies and sales models are controlled (corresponding to IR), which is terrifying.

Although the male and female protagonists in the play are from the bottom, it is impossible to see the praise of these people in the play. Unstable interpersonal relationships and lack of family love are the normal life of these people. Without the financial support of Bai Fumei, could the relationship between the male and female protagonists blossom and bear fruit? The world after death further expands the exploitation of capitalism. In the virtual world, traffic is money, and time has become the least valuable thing. There is no privacy in the privacy model. The memory in the brain can be read and tampered with, and the advertisements that are recommended are targeted. They cannot do any level of mental work to renew their lives. They can only pray that people in the real world can renew their bills. If this is paradise, it is probably the paradise of "Microsoft".
