After "The Good Gamer", another sci-fi, 2033, is not far from us.

The big assumption of the show is - I think therefore I am, so as long as the brain can continue to think, even if the physical organs fail, the person continues to exist, not die.

However, if you think that after uploading, you will get immortality, then you are wrong. The world after uploading is still a capitalist world.

Feature 1: The world is constructed (by capitalists and programmers), for example, there are only sweet and salty tastes before upgrading, and bitter and spicy tastes after upgrading. The living environment and survival mode of uploaders are subject to the rules of the game set by capitalists.

Feature 2: Resources (such as traffic, computing power) are scarce, so they need to be purchased with currency. Moreover, this scarcity is planned by the capitalists. Even if there is a surplus of bandwidth and computing power, it will not be provided to the poor in the 2G world for free.

Feature 3: You seem to have many choices, you can go to the world of company A or the world of company B, but the reality is that there may only be a few companies with real R&D strength, and large companies will try their best to curb other companies. rise.

The world of capitalism, after all, is a world in which capitalists define the rules of the game and enforce monopoly rule.

Is such a world really what people want?

In addition to the organizational system of the company, will there be some kind of cooperative? In such a cooperative, although the world is not perfect, each member can make it a better place through programming and other labor every day. Part of the labor results can be sold in the market in exchange for traffic and computing resources.

Uploaders can think freely, but cannot work with dignity and support themselves. Do you want to be such an uploader?

This is a very weird thing. Traditional people can earn money through labor, but uploaders can only consume in the virtual world. Uploaders rely heavily on the support of traditional people. If they don’t have money owners, they can only live in the bottom world of 2G traffic per month.

The male protagonist, Mr. Brown, is an excellent programmer. He eats, sleeps, chats, and hangs out in the virtual world every day. He has no serious job and cannot use his strengths. You can think, but you can't do creative work like programming. After downgrading to the 2G world, the traffic is exhausted, and there is no chance to even think. The mystery of his life experience has not been revealed, and there are still many doubts at the end of the first season.
