Beneath the irrational visuals and dry humor, at its core, Severance is about identity. It asks whether we are better or worse for removing certain parts of our own consciousness, and it explores that idea through a brain-splitting procedure and chip.

The article from CNET discusses the potential future implications of technologies like brain-computer interfaces and advanced AI, as depicted in the Apple TV+ series "Severance." It explores how these technologies could blur the lines between work and personal life, potentially allowing for a literal separation of one's work and personal consciousness. The piece mentions real-world developments like Elon Musk's Neuralink, which aims to create brain-computer interfaces, and the concept of "chipping" employees for various purposes, including security and payment systems. It also touches on the ethical and privacy concerns these technologies raise, such as data security, consent, and the potential for misuse by corporations or governments. The article suggests that while these technologies might seem like science fiction, they are closer to reality than many might think, prompting a need for careful consideration of their societal impacts.
