Upload	comment	Upload is a 2020 Amazon Prime original sci-fi sitcom by television icon Greg Daniels (The Office (US), King of the Hill).By the year 2033, humans have developed the ability to upload themselves into their preferred choice of Artificial Afterlife. In Los Angeles, software engineer Nathan (Robbie Amell) is fatally injured in a self-driving car accident. His shallow girlfriend Ingrid (Allegra Edwards) pressures him into agreeing to be uploaded to her family's luxurious virtual heaven, Lakeview. Once there, he is greeted by Nora (Andy Allo), his customer service representative (or "Angel"), who appears as a holographic avatar while actually working in an office in Queens alongside other "Angels".The series follows the two as Nathan grows accustomed to his imperfect afterlife with Nora's help, the still-living Nora struggles to stay afloat, and the two begin to find out that there's more to the story of Nathan's upload than it sounds.On May 8th 2020, a week after its release, it was renewed for a second season, which was released on March 11th, 2022. A third season began on October 20th, 2023.

Upload / int_106f1a77	comment	A Form You Are Comfortable With: In the pilot, it's explained that a lot of the architecture is designed to appear palatable to the Lakeview residents. There are millions of people uploaded to Lakeview, and well over 10,000 virtual floors. Residents can only see people from the two floors above and below them unless they specifically travel to a different floor. From outside the building, residents can only see five floors. It looks like a quaint hotel beside a lake, not a towering digital skyscraper.

Upload / int_21d70919	type	Crapsack World
Upload / int_21d70919	comment	Crapsack World: The "2Gig" section of Lakeview. The living space resembles a hospital ward with virtually no decorations, amenities are nonexistent, and the food is provided by Lean Cuisine to test flavors for the living. When the free 2 gigabytes of data is used up, the user is frozen in place for the rest of the month, or until someone provides more data. When Nathan and Nora first visit it, they see a boy trying to kill time by reading the first five pages of a Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone ebook, since the full book would cost money. The real world, however, is even worse as everything is mostly operated by machines, big businesses have merged into mega-corporations that treat their employees more as assets than people while valuing profit over basic human needs, and most people passive-aggressively desensitized to the pollution and rampant homelessness. Not only that, there is even a stigma between those who accept and use the digital afterlife and those against it (the "Ludds"), even going so far as to use propaganda and vilify the latter as "terrorists" just for their beliefs.

While most of the focus is on the varying qualities of the virtual afterlife and how they're directly tied to the income of the deceased and their families, numerous examples show things aren't exactly great for the living outside of the elites. A minor example shows Christmas, Hanukkah, and other similar holidays combined into a single day, which employees still are expected to report to work for.

Ingrid unfreezes Nathan, to reveal that she has decided to follow him into the afterlife by uploading herself to be with him, despite him not being interested in her anymore.

Nora considers her father to be weird for wanting to die and join her mother in the Christian Heaven. She would much rather her father upload himself into Lakeview with her Horizen employee discount, so she wouldn't have to say goodbye and could still visit him. This has also changed the nature of funerals, with "funerals" for those who have Uploaded now just seen as regular social occasions.

(Of course, there's also no explanation as to why Horizen keeps its servers in a Customer Service location in NYC; today, Amazon keeps its rentable server farms in large, temperature-controlled, highly-secured facilities, and there's no Watsonian reason to assume this is no longer a practice.)

Upload / int_fb76b6ec	comment	Kiss Me, I'm Virtual: While it's possible to have sex with other VR users or uploads, it requires people to put on "sex suits", which look like they're filled with rubber gloves inside. Ingrid freaks out when she visits a suit rental place and runs off. She eventually rents one to sleep with Nathan and actually enjoys the experience, although waking up in her bathtub isn't that much fun. These suits are also used to allow kids to hug their uploaded grandparents, but the most common use is sex between uploads and corporeals.

Upload / int_fdbb6993	comment	Ridiculous Future Inflation: Service fees for pizza delivery add up to $15, and tickets for the observation deck of Empire State Building cost $150 (at the time the episode was released, the cheapest adult ticket was $44). Wages, on the other hand to seem to have stagnated, with a typical Horizen angel making under $40,000 annually.
