It's a pity to die, but it's okay, as long as you back up your own brain, you can upload it to the data center, and then choose a small world virtualized by numbers - Amazon jungle, Negril Beach, Las Vegas Las Vegas, Cuscovo Manor, President Wilson Hotel... Next, you can start a new digital survival with the uploaders (UPLAND) who also live in this small world. Best of all, you can still keep in touch with your real-world relatives and friends as if you were just in two different cities, and even with the help of a virtual reality device, you can realistically shake hands, hug, kiss, and have incredible grown-ups sports. Of course, all of this has to be paid for, so only you can afford it.
Damn, the director and screenwriter of this show is simply the Musk of the film and television industry, providing the most feasible solution so far for immortality! Once this brain hole is opened, it not only makes the setting of the virtual world more perfect, but also opens up the channel between the virtual and real worlds, and can even continue to build more parallel universes and interpret countless wonderful stories. Just thinking about it makes people excited. . The best thing about this show is that the common settings of love and betrayal, conspiracy and criminals are just platform-ported tricks.
There are many interesting places in the play, such as the angel role played by customer service, the promotion of offline advertisements in the virtual world, the visualization and plot presentation of program bugs, the embodiment of the gap between the rich and the poor in the virtual world, etc. Almost the first episode There are some new things that make people look particularly happy.
The most important thing in this play is the philosophical thinking about immortality. In theory, UPLAND provides a solution for immortality, but it does not solve the human question of the meaning of existence - what is life for? A child who died unexpectedly at the age of 12 can play his favorite computer games all day in the virtual world, but his brain will always stay at the age of 12, and his thoughts, consciousness, and emotions will always be frozen at the age of 12, even if he can buy The adult body doesn't solve the problem of mental maturity either, so he doesn't feel happy about continuing his life in this way; there are always UPLAND people (should be a minority) who live in the virtual world for days, weeks, or years In the future, they choose to go to the digital vortex and let themselves completely die (disappear); some people give up UPLAND, not even saving a copy of the brain, and choose to leave by death, because his wife is not in that digital world, and there is no one he loves. Is the world still "paradise"? !
This play does not deliberately touch on difficult philosophical topics, but we are entangled in the problems that arise by ourselves during the viewing process: those who choose UPLAND, do they live for themselves, or for the real world that needs to live by themselves people alive? If the creation and imagination are lost, what is the meaning of virtual existence? When everything is the result of program control, or can be realized by the program through consumption, can we still call it "alive"? You really want to kill brain cells, but you can't help but be tempted to think about it.
Death is the ultimate proposition facing mankind. We are so terrified of death that we have created religions to use heaven to ease our anxiety so that we don't panic all the time. But when one day, "heaven" is really created by us, is it the luck or misfortune of human beings?
Perhaps, when we can even make heaven, hell is not far away.
