How GoT, Altered Carbon, and Westworld Resonate with Us

Game of Thrones examines what the exercise of power looks like with new, magical and fantastical properties.

Altered Carbon examines a world where human consciousness can escape the human body.

Westworld examines what it means to be human when a clear indistinction appears.

I don't think it's a coincidence that some of the most popular and well-written shows out there focus on stories where humanity is confronted with stunning new capabilities. It feels a bit like what we're living through now.
