Altered Carbon explores virtual torture pretty extensively in its first season. Acting is sub-par, but concepts are intriguing as all hell.

A large part of the internet economy operates on the assumptions that services like AWS and Google and Facebook remain available. Businesses are built on top of these services, and it's not clear that other SaaS providers could fill th

So pay for a place to live and all your regular social responsibilities like cleanliness and paying for services on time are just taken care of...? That doesn't seem like a great way to transition into adulthood at all.

Admins having the power to ban user based on any offense, no matter how abusive or unethical they are, is not a characteristic of an open/decentralized social network. Are admins elected? Is there a democratic process where trials can

I like to do this though experiment sometimes. Let's assume some sort of Basic Income is enacted. A standard livable amount for all adults, that will scale with inflation, and even with number of dependents. Some people will still work

I think his point is that people in the "progressive world' and tech scene are routinely being taught (rightly so) to NOT to treat minorities like this. But annoyingly, the same attitude doesn't exist towards people from Slov
