Yeah, the show kinda surprised me. And with all the big companies shifting to metaverse, I think they'll probably just totally can it soon. It started in May of 2020 and still hasn't gotten a second season.
Like the whole thing is kinda uncanny with all the digital people asking their families to send them money for NFT Gucci handbags and stuff. I guess that was just starting when it was written, but it's definitely an almost perfect parody of the metaverse/NFT stuff.
I've heard a bunch of science fiction shorts with premises involving mind control. It's a central theme in Rainbows End. There was also a short story where an advertising techbro invents a mind control drug. The protagonist is a reporter trying to expose how evil and unethical he is, but the stinger is that he darts her right before she can expose him, then "marries" her. Super, super squick.
