Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Based on Robert Sheckley's 1959 novel 'Immortality, Inc.' — the book's 2110 setting got aggressively updated to 2009 for that 'near future' urgency.
This flopped so hard it killed the cyberpunk boom dead until The Matrix resurrected it seven years later. You're watching genre history's cautionary tale.
