The animated TV series Pantheon (streaming on Netflix) asks what if you could upload your mind to the Internet? Would still be human? Would we create a virtual paradise where everyone got to live forever? Or would we find new and more sophisticated ways to destroy each other? I talk with Pantheon showrunner <a href="https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0799026/?ref_=tt_ov_1_1">Craig Silverstein</a> and <a href="https://kenliu.name/">Ken Liu</a>, the author of The Hidden Girl and Other Stories, which the TV show is based on. We discuss how they adapted a series of loosely interconnected stories into a tightly plotted two-season arc, and all the ways in which society would change if uploading our minds becomes a viable technology. Featuring readings by actress <a href="https://www.eunicewong.com/%20">Eunice Wong</a>.
