to its most literal extreme, what would it look like? That’s the central theme of Severance, the sci-fi series that has finished airing on Apple TV.
These “new” employees are told that they can leave the office whenever they like, but inevitably find themselves sent back to work by their home-life counterparts, who don’t want to lose their jobs and do not have to endure the horror of living only in the office. Questions about personhood – what makes you you and not somebody else – were very important at Locke’s time of writing. For many 17th-century thinkers , it was a given that after our mortal lives, we would go on to live some kind of afterlife. But who exactly will live that life?
The case of literal work-life severance is interesting precisely because the process creates a new person – one who comes into existence only when the severing procedure is over. Since that new person only remembers being conscious at work, that person only exists at work. There are signs that within the world of Severance, there is more to a person than what they can remember. In the opening episode, the main character goes home to find that he has a cut on his forehead from an accident at work that of course, he cannot remember.
So everyone is going to have their pay doubled effective immediately?
so it means people could have affairs at work?
