The infinite reverie of the future world, or more precisely, the fear of the unknown, drives us to yearn for "endlessness".

In a world born equal, ideal and reality, desire and reality are always full of deviations.

"The body is embarrassing not because it has desires, but because sooner or later, through disease and old age, it will lose its desires and become a strange useless thing.

At this time, no matter how lively the spirit is, there is no choice but to watch the body decline, and it will eventually drag itself to decline and die with it.

There is nothing in the world more humiliating to the spirit than a soul still alive and destined to die for the body that betrayed it. The so-called conflict between the spirit and the flesh is the most shocking at this time. "Excerpted from Zhou Guoping's "Man and Eternity"

Part of the reason why humans are not afraid of death is that it comes from an irresistible compromise. Is "admitting one's fate" a means to gain more comfort for oneself?

In order to resist all this, "Uploading New Life", which was launched in May 2020, built an "ideal world" in just ten episodes. The aging and death of the body is no longer the end.

In recent years, there have been many movies similar to futuristic technology, but the ending always disappoints me. I have to say that the opening of the show still didn't attract me.

But now that I saw the 4th episode, I gave the show 4 stars in my heart. The world of 2033 is entirely traceable to the world we touch in 2020.

In 2033, we will be reborn in the world of data, of course, the premise is still from your investment in this life.

Nora, the heroine, works in the Horizen Upload Customer Support Center, and is an "angel" for the personal service of the reborn.

The male protagonist Nathan is a programmer with a warm family and Bai Fumei's girlfriend Ingrid (hereinafter referred to as Xiaoying). But everything in the real world came to an abrupt end after a car accident.

After the car accident, Xiaoying coerced Nathan, who was at stake, to sign an agreement to gain immortality in order to "not separate" from her boyfriend.

Nathan was pushed to the upload room, and "brutally" violently uploaded his brain to the Lake View Manor, which everyone envied.

This is where Nathan's encounter with Nora begins, and Nora becomes Nathan's "angel". Responsible for Nathan's reconstruction in another world.

The lovely Nathan cried nervously in the new world. After a few words of comfort from Nora's profession, she set the "sleep mode"

When we see this, we are horrified. We don't know that the other world has acquired a new self and has real senses, but it seems even more helpless. can be easily rewritten. "I" or "I"?

Sure enough, the story behind it will not disappoint. Those who can live in the most luxurious manor should be people who were not relatively prestigious in the society during their lifetime. In a world reborn after spending a lot of money, every move is stored in the data system, and the so-called "privacy" settings are useless.

Nathan became more and more uneasy in this virtual world and wanted to escape, and then the manor arranged absurd psychological counseling for him. Behind the "pet therapy" dogs, the streamlined staff quotes reveal the anxiety of just wanting to finish the work earlier.

The heroine Nora hopes to get employee discounts, let her father live forever after his death, work hard, and get "five-star praise".

People from two different worlds are slowly approaching. Nora's curiosity about Nathan has led to more questions, and the blanks in Nathan's mind are constantly clearing.

As the plot progresses, all audiences in this world will adapt and understand, because everything is too similar to our present.

The future world is still as absurd as reality. The world that seems to be free after rebirth is full of shackles. Privacy is made public with grand sounding.

This freedom makes me full of doubts.

I hope that the next few episodes will continue to be exciting, and it is my ardent expectation for it not to end unfinished.
