{{#ev:youtube|40T49kllPCM|{{{width|450}}}|{{{align|right}}}|Netflix interviews various people including [[Martine Rothblatt]] and [[Steve Aoki]] about attitudes to immortality explored in the series|frame}}
In a [[dystopian transhumanism|dystopian]] future, most people have utilised ubiquitous [[mind uploading]] technologies to create [[digital immortality]] via a spinal 'cortical stack' implant, in a process known as 'resleeving'. Neo-catholic minorities reject the technology, in turn making them extra vulnerable to criminals. The setting features light speed transmission via needlecast<ref>[http://www.technovelgy.com/ct/content.asp?Bnum=606 "A tightbeam transmission of your very being."]</ref>, and a long-lived Methuselan [[oligarchic transhumanism|elite caste]] (colloquially known as "Meths").

The protagonist of the series is former Envoy Corps military operative Takeshi Kovács, whose stack has been taken from prison and resleeved in order to investigate the death of a Meth named Laurens Bancroft; ruled a suicide, but Bancroft's backup is convinced that he was murdered.
