After months of deliberating, and a worsening condition, Kelly decides to upload her conscience to San Junipero, living out her days with Yorkie.
Kelly, however, rejects Yorkie’s advances to also fully upload her conscience to San Junipero once she dies because of a promise to her previous husband.
One show many consider to have a doom-mongering, pessimistic view of life is Black Mirror, the Channel 4 show picked up by Netflix.
Because San Junipero isn’t a real place: it’s a realistic virtual reality; a place the conscience is uploaded to rather than physically visited.
