A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

What if that's what we've already done?

This remind me of a cartoon series that I recently watched called Pantheon, where they upload a humans brain and consciousness into a computer.

Is it any good?

I’m always on the hunt for new stuff!

It's pretty good. I liked it a lot. There is this theme of fighting with and between gods (uploaded humans) and has a pretty good ending that made me want to rewatch it.

It is unfortunately only legally available in Australia and New Zealand from what I know, so you probably have to look around for another way to see it if your not from there.

I’m not super upset by legal acquisition if it’s not available here.

Thanks! It’s on my list now. I’m actually excited that it’s foreign media but not anime. (Anime is fine, but sometimes you don’t want the sameness)

You should read Otherland by Tad Williams if you like that kind of thing.

This sounds really interesting! Can you post an imdb link? I'm only able to find an American show by that name, and it also has technology themes, so it's making it hard to find anything else.

EDIT: Oh! It is this show, I just misunderstood your reply to ApathyTree, about it only being legally available in Australia and New Zealand. Thanks for the recommendation :)

I think that's pretty much the plot of 'Devs'?

Isn't that what they are doing with VR?
