The Disposable Soma

review by
Mike Haberfelner

It's 2160, and former longevity surgeon Arthur Weiss feels truly down on his luck, ever since he's been accused of being a sociopath - a big no-no in 2160, and something one tends to get cancelled for. So with no way out, Arthur decides to kill himself, but he chickens out of both shooting and hanging himself. Next option is suicide by cop, and since a rally by presidential candidate Doc Kramer, who incidently runs an anti-sociopath campaign, is just around the corner, why not just bring a gun and let the police handle the rest. It's only then that Arthur has an epiphany: Kramer was once in his care (for something he rallies against these days), and he still has some implants in his body that Weiss could trigger that would kill Kramer - if only he could somehow physically touch Kramer ... like shaking his hand at that rally. So everything for this, maybe his final ever, act is in place - until his ex-wife brings over the children, perfect little monsters, for him to watch over for the afternoon ...

 

Ok, of course the premise for this first episode of The Disposable Soma seems like sitcom staple, and it really plays out in an expected (if slightly morbid) way - but that's not what makes his episode work, or at least not primarily, as basically the set-up is a great backbone for political satire that in a very non-specific way mirrors today's political landscape (and it's ten or so days out from the 2024 US election as I write this) and really reflects our culture in the process. And that the whole thing was entirely done (though not written) via AI, which still has its imperfections at this day and age, actually adds to the all-around unreal and yet all-too-real episode of this pretty abstract and yet spot-on satire that's a joy to watch for sure.
