    So this virus takes over the planet without a sustainable plan to survive? What’s the overall goal?

      I wonder if the virus was created as a way of creating the “perfect” robot. Their job seems to be to serve those that are not a part of the hive.

      The twist then being that this version of the virus, in an attempt to make them more subservient, can’t take care of themselves.

          So I’ve read a number of theories that the story being told is AI. I don’t think that was planned, but it definitely could be. I think it’s more of a story about happiness and what makes someone happy, but I think that is absolutely entwined with AI.

      What’s the goal of any virus? That’s the thing. It’s behaviour is viral. It is just to spread.

        Yes, but viruses don’t have sentience so far as we know. Far beyond that, this one has tenets (or perhaps directives)…and where do either of those come from?

        Are they working to spread to all life on earth so they can survive without killing anything both native and uninfected?

        All that’s rhetorical btw, I know none of us knows. I think these are answers I’m hoping to have by the time the show ends.
