the storyline:

XXVII century. People's consciousness is stored in special media — "stacks", which, if necessary, are loaded into bodies that are considered only as vessels. Gradually, a special class of rich centenarians, "mafs" (in honor of the biblical Methuselah), who found a way to additionally copy their consciousness to a backup medium, a "carbon copy", was formed.

The series was commissioned by Netflix in January 2016, 15 years after executive producer Laeta Kalogridis negotiated the adaptation of the novel as a feature film. According to Kalogridis, the complexity of the novel and the hard R rating for a long time prevented the concept of the series from being sold to studios. Miguel Sapochnik directed the pilot episode.
