这部改编刘宇昆的短故事﹑由《TURN(逆转奇兵)》主创Craig Silverstein负责的动画,首季讲述主角Maddie是个被欺凌的青少年,某天她在网上得到神秘的帮助,而她很快发现对方竟是新近过世的父亲David。
David参加了某个实验并被破坏了脑部,但实际是他脑部被扫描及上传到云端,使他成为新物种「Uploaded Intelligence」(UI)的第一例,但他的存在也即将引发一场新型的世界大战。
In 2001, genius visionary Stephen Holstrom and founder of Logorhythms, a technological corporation, speaks about his mission to reach digital immortality with the advancement "Uploaded Intelligence" or "UI," - scanning the human brain and uploading it on the Cloud. Years later, after Holstrom's death, Logorythms continues his project, using various illegal and unethical means to reach their goals.
Shaken by the death of her beloved father's two years prior, Madison "Maddie" Kim is a bullied teen who receives mysterious help from someone online, who is soon thereafter revealed to be her deceased father, David Kim. David explains that his consciousness has been successfully uploaded to Logorhythms' cloud following an experimental and destructive brain scan, and that Logorythms lied to his family about the results. Wanting to save her father, Maddie seeks help from others and eventually gains custody of her father's U.I., but the Kim family is still facing danger from Logorythms.
At the same time, Caspian Keyes, a troubled yet highly intelligent teenage boy is embroiled in his own intrigue involving Logorythms. Since birth, Caspian's life has been a lie, raised unaware that he is in a constructed environment and constantly monitored by Logorythms, to one day fulfill a specific purpose. Through a chatroom, Caspian comes into contact with Maddie and the two aid each other in searching for the truth, which also helps Caspian gradually learn the truth about his reality.
Vinod Chanda, an engineer from the India-based Alliance Telecom company, wishes to use U.I. technology to usher in a digital utopia. After meeting with a rival company, Chanda's corrupt boss has him kidnapped and reveals that Alliance Telecom has secretly been conducting U.I. experiments, and Chanda himself is scanned, resulting in his death in the real world with his U.I. uploaded to perform menial tasks within Alliance's systems. With help from previous U.I. victims, Chanda escapes his virtual prison and becomes a rogue wildcard.
With Maddie and Caspian stuck in the middle, a global conspiracy unfolds that threatens to trigger a new kind of world war.

爽,故事紧凑
科幻爽文
各种对前辈作品们的致敬很有趣。设定的概念有意思,从UI到CI,并在第二季成功拓展出一个其实可以编写很多外传衍生故事的世界观。第一季还只算是起个头,虽然改编自刘宇昆的末日三部曲,实际还是原创内容居多,原著的内容反而成了彩蛋一般的点缀。由万神到一神,真是又与千年前的罗马相对应了。而第二季又将从一神走向人间,再从人间去往寰宇。向内,也向外。走向无限……
仍然新奇的体验,在商业化的同时保留科幻的内核,这很棒
内容谈不上新颖,但叙事足够扎实。是近年少有的叙事逻辑较严谨的科幻动画。可惜后两集展开有些着急了。
老套的设定,但是精彩又可信的演绎。蛮喜欢女主的,很勇敢
幽默老美,日常黑老中,好好的科幻故事,就是忍不住填两笔若智政治博弈大国竞争,闹麻了「(゚ペ)凸
女主对待朋友真是自私自利,有求于人的时候低三下四和声细语,别人有求于她就一脚踹开,拍拍屁股走人
中间其实有点跑偏了,拖了一点
剧情比较刺激,设定真的好有趣
