Neurocaster technology raises ethical concerns in "The Electric State."

Netflix's film "The Electric State" features a technology called Neurocaster, which allows users to experience immersive dreamscapes while controlling mechanical bodies for labor. This technology emerged during a robot uprising, aiming to give humans an edge in a war against self-aware machines. The Neurocaster's development relied on a boy named Christopher, who survived a car accident but remained in a vegetative state. His brain was used as the processing core for the Neurocaster, enabling the technology to function effectively during the conflict. Now, Neurocaster technology is commercially available, providing escapism for a traumatized society. However, it relies on Christopher's ongoing exploitation, as he remains connected to the system, highlighting ethical concerns surrounding its use.
