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.

这集神了
7~7.5+0.5(演出)|怎麼說呢,又是一部高開低走的科幻作品吧,至少前中段挺好看的。雖然以意識上傳主題為主題的科幻作品已經遍地皆是,而本作也毫不意外地沒有太震撼的創新,但有幾幕的演出和想法非常驚艷,無論是視覺效果和音效使用上都無可挑剔,尤其配樂插入的時機特別好,絕對是意外之喜。/撇除這些驚喜,人物塑造和後段劇情著實拉低了觀感。主角到配角的人設都比較樣板,真正有魅力的角色大概只有堅強又勇敢的Laurie。還有美劇裡經典的敏感自卑青少年、複雜人際關係、家庭那些破事的種種環節大概是不得不品了,很多衝突情節真是dramatic的太刻意了。/後期生硬地引入反派也讓故事變得小家子氣,明明有許多關於UI更加本質的面向值得深入探討,最終卻依舊落入窠臼,這樣無法避免的大題小作讓人不免覺得可惜。天才般的劇本構思畢竟是稀少的。
这动画一开始抛出了一堆看似新潮值得深入讨论的概念,诸如把人的意识上传到网络;数字人被无良企业奴役;数字人觉醒叛变,影响现实;亲人成了数字人,身边人如何接受他们的存在;每一个点子拿出来写都是一部电影,但你猜这动画第一季的结局是什么?是他妈的数字人内斗!!!我服了。有种米其林三星大厨拿龙虾,鲍鱼,牛肉结果做了碗咸淡不一的蛋炒饭的美。
没想到比攻壳机动队还现实主义
非常喜歡的一部,準備看第二部
很值得看的一部番,想法很充足,但也有一些地方很不到位,值得一看
科幻设定,多线推进并在交汇后怒涛展开观感还行,可最后的混乱叙事、牵强逻辑以及搞笑的决战扣大分,科幻的尽头是肉搏,华裔剧本拍出来的典型美式作品,4.4
有点意思
第一季还是能看下去的/。。
好看,各种致敬,完全对上电波,稍微有点高开低走,9颗星没问题
