I haven't experienced a game that brings forth the existential crisis nearly as strong as this game does.

 

I find the vitrol spewed at this game, not from you but in general to be blinded by strange predispositions from the topic at hand and David Cage.

 

I'm still playing it, and i find it nuanced on so many levels.

Ah, well pethaps games yes. There is one I can think of the time of my head that nlows this outta the water and that's SOMA. I guess we took different routes through sci fi too and I can see how people would love this and even be blown away, it takes everything good on the topic, very safely and smashes it all together.

I'd name some books but since we are talking media here try a films Bicentennial man with Robin williams, A.I with the sixth sense kid, iRobot with will smith, Blade runner and as these are pretty obvious and you may seen them Transcendence with Johnny depp and The first season of the new version of Westworld are absolute must watch productions on the topic and themes. 

..and hell. If ya do like books Life 2.0 is the ultimate place to start and finish on the topic. It's more factual than fiction though but written very well.

How much have you played Detroit? Because I find it's level of intrigue on par with Westworld(I say this because its the one of what you mentioned that I have seen).

Have you experienced...

-The Magazines hidden throughout the game. They usually are used as a method of painting the world around the characters. They are also being used as hints to forshadow events. Like I said in OP, the Magazine at the beginning of Protest potentially clues you into how the chapter can end. There are many that just fill in refined detail about how Humans are corrupted by tech.

-Considered the correlation of character/group affinities vs "Public Standing" in the game. The way they intertwine I think is amazing. Far better than the Telltales "they will remember this" concepts that lead nowhere. The OP I attempt at comparing the concept's depiction to the way real life social unrest situations play out, and the epiphany that followed.

-Played through multiple times to see a few of the various outcomes that are pretty drastic from one another. Like Playing Connor as a certain way turns him into a completely different person. 

I mean sure the game isn't reinventing the wheel on Sci Fi Dystopian intrigue but it is insightful.
