Upload explores both the computer-generated Lake View and the "real" world of 2033, which is when the series begins (and when Nathan dies). Because his girlfriend's family literally owns the place, Nathan gets to live with the one-percenters - whether he wants to or not. The more you can afford, the better your computerized afterlife. One of the many brilliant concepts in Upload is that series creator Greg Daniels envisions his imaginary world as a place where this transition from "bio" to "upload" is predominantly a financial transaction. It's a world made by a giant corporation - one of several competing to offer people an alternative to dying in the natural way, and dealing with whatever does or doesn't come next. Nathan's avatar resides in what now passes for his eternal after-life. When Nathan Brown (Robbie Amell) dies in a freak accident involving his self-driving car, his wealthy girlfriend puts up the money to have his memories and personality uploaded into a lookalike avatar. We hardly get to know the lead character of new sci-fi comedy Upload - and the world of the near future in which he lives - before he stops living. In the Amazon Prime series Upload, Nathan Brown (Robbie Amell) has died in a freak accident and his wealthy girlfriend has paid to have his memories and personality uploaded into a lookalike avatar.
