Surrogates, Movie and Graphic Novel Options

[BishopMcQ]

Hey folks--

I came across a trailer for a new movie based on the graphic novel Surrogates. LINK

Plot: The year is 2054, and life is reduced to a data feed. The fusing of virtual reality and cybernetics has ushered in the era of the personal surrogate, android substitutes that let users interact with the world without ever leaving their homes. It's a perfect world, and it's up to Detectives Harvey Greer and Pete Ford of the Metro Police Department to keep it that way. But to do so they’ll need to stop a techno-terrorist bent on returning society to a time when people lived their lives instead of merely experiencing them.

Thoughts on its application to SR, the use of VR, hot sim, and drones to separate the humanity of the world. There have been a few threads about rigging drones and using AIs in drones recently that may feed into the debate.
