I want to believe that the past is done with us the moment we are done with it.
Why it is hard sci-fi
Eight strangers across the world become a sensate cluster, sharing experiences and skills in real time. The Wachowskis treat the cluster as a real biological condition with a working mechanism. A specific neural mutation, a triggering event, and a population genetics that includes other clusters. The show also commits to the operational consequences. A cluster is a real intelligence asset and is hunted by a regulatory body.
Science inside it
A neural-networked cognition spread across multiple bodies, the population biology of a rare mutation, and the security-state response to a non-localisable mind. The shows one good engineering thread is the chemical compound that the antagonist agency uses to suppress the cluster bond, which is treated as a real pharmacological intervention.
