Altered Carbon type shit
I only watched the show but it’s a story where a bunch of revolutionaries got together to overthrow the wealthy so that they wouldn’t use the magic alien body swapping technology to oppress everyone. The revolutionaries lose and for hundreds of years the wealthy become immortal gods that use the technology to basically trick poor people into thinking they can’t die and then murdering them during graphic violent sexual acts, getting off on that they tricked them into permanent death. It’s even implied it’s done to children.
So someone looks at this show/book and then goes “man wouldn’t it be cool if we lived a society that had cortical stacks?”
