About this listen

In this final Monday Science Live before our summer break, Dr. Bahijja Raimi-Abraham wraps up the Black Mirror Season 7 series with an in-depth look at USS Callister: Into Infinity, a bold sequel to the iconic Season 4 episode.

We follow Nanette Cole and her crew—digital consciousnesses cloned without consent—as they fight for survival and freedom in a vast online universe controlled by 30 million players.

This episode explores:

  • The science and ethics of cloning human consciousness from DNA

  • Consent, autonomy, and digital imprisonment

  • The risks of advanced VR and mind uploading

  • What it truly means to be “real” in a virtual world

Dr. Bahijja also reflects on key takeaways from the entire season and invites listeners to continue the conversation while the podcast takes a short break.

This is the last live episode before Monday Science goes on pause...join us as we end the season!
