H+: The Digital Series (often abbreviated as H+) is an American web series produced by Bryan Singer and created by John Cabrera and Cosimo De Tommaso. The series explores a dystopian near future brought about by a technological singularity holocaust from the perspective of differing transhumanism factions, premiered on August 8, 2012 on YouTube with two episodes. Two new episodes were then released every week on Wednesdays until the season finale on January 16, 2013. A second season was announced in January 2013. However, there have been no updates since.[1]
Production
The series began as a long-term project in 2006. It was filmed in Santiago, Chile in 2011, over 29 days in 54 different locations, and announced at the 2011 San Diego Comic-Con International. At the 2012 San Diego Comic-Con, it was again promoted in anticipation of its upcoming premiere. The series is distributed by Warner Brothers Digital Distribution in partnership with YouTube.
As new episodes premiered weekly via YouTube, new supplemental content was also made available through the series' official website, providing extra images, text, or video that tied into the story further.
Background
The series is based on a future where one-third of the world's population has a neural implant named H+, which connects the human mind to the Internet 24 hours a day.[2][3] The implant was created by a company called Hplus Nano Teoranta, an Irish biotechnology company founded with the intent of improving the medical sector with technology.[4]
The story begins Шаблон:Lang (i.e. In the midst of the plot.), depicting the effects of a malicious-hacker's computer virus which infects all of the users of the H+ neural implant, killing-off one-third of the world's population.
Concurrent episodes go back-and-forward in time to different settings, and various characters' viewpoints are used to tell the story.[5]
