    What is so dark? I feel like I must be missing something. Their consciousnesses are being maintained by a server farm. But what is dark about that? It just seems optimistic and such how they get to pretend to live in their 20s forever. Nothing like living in a torturous snow globe or whatever.

      forever

      What server farm is forever?

      The series Upload is like taking the idea and giving it its own universe. It’s good, but I’ll ruin the black mirror episode.
