Of course a 2020 TV adaption from a 1930s book is going to have quite a technological update in it.

The BNW story remains as one of the classic cautionary works warning of the difficulty to escape from any totalitarian system.

This latest version of BNW could have easily ran for more than 9 episodes, but as a 1 season production, its still works well. The big reveal at the end is that unless people know enough to question The Nature of Reality (TNOR), they might not realize that they are trapped in some authoritarian control game.
