Anyways, it’s likely you haven’t heard of Fox’s new show Almost Human, their latest foray into the science fiction genre. Almost Human is
set in the year 2048 and follows the adventures of Detective John
Kennex (actor Karl Urban recently of Star Trek fame). In a background
story similar to iRobot,
Kennex previously suffered from a traumatic experience with robot-kind
that left him temporarily without a leg: Kennex is now a cyborg that
hates robot-kind, oh the irony.
Kennex is recalled to the force after recovering and assigned to work
with a DRN android, designed to be as close to human as possible, known
as Dorian (actor Michael Ealy). While working a case, the two of them
are investigating a dead body when voila, they come across a nondescript
silver stick that Detective Kennex immediately identifies as Bitcoin.
Android Dorian then uses his finger to presumably hack into the device
and tells Kennex that there are 4,999 units of Bitcoin.
The show, ‘Almost Human’, features lots of little sci-fi gadgets and
references for all the fans out there. Like all good sci-fi, the actual
technological and scientific explanation for things are few and far
between. Additionally, mentions of Bitcoin are made without even
properly stating what unit of Bitcoin a ‘bit’ is referring to. There
has been clear effort on the part of writers and their editors to keep
undue predictions about Bitcoin from making their way onto the screen.
Regardless, Bitcoiners everywhere are able to read between the lines
and see that Bitcoin is extremely prevalent in the future portrayed by
‘Almost Human’./bitcoinblogger.com/
