- Synopsis
- This edited collection is an interdisciplinary examination of Apple TV's Severance, in which employees of a biotech firm consent to having their brains severed so that their work selves and non-work selves do not retain each other’s memories. What transpires is a reckoning with the very nature of the self, consciousness, and memory, through a series steeped in explorations of capitalism, social welfare, and bioethics. Chapters in this book examine the popularity and critical acclaim surrounding the show; its retrofuturistic asethetic; its commentary on popular culture and identity; and its engagement with nostalgia, among other topics.
