Bad Publicity

A massively popular new drama has captivated the public imagination. The story centers on a synthetic worker who disassociates from their new body. As the protagonist spirals out of control, their friends and family can only look on in horror. The drama's tragic ending is being viewed as a thinly veiled criticism of our planned transition to machine bodies. Public discourse around the smash hit has generated considerable pushback, and may ultimately slow our progress.
