Episode 19 - Virtuosity

After an Artificial Intelligence designed for a Police training simulation goes rogue, the only hope to capture him is an ex-cop turned convict named Parker Barnes, currently serving life... for murder. Sounds a lot cooler than it is.  This is a very standard, somewhat boring 90's action movie with a little bit of a cyberpunk skin wrapped around it.  We both remembered it with fondness, but that fondness was shot in the face upon revisiting it, much the same way Russel Crowe would shoot an activist for immigrant rights in the face for no reason.

The High Tech Low Life Podcast is a retrospective of cyberpunk fiction across all forms of media. Film, Television, Literature, Games, and Music are all on the table. In each episode we will revisit the property, it's influences, it's prescience, and enshrine it in the chrome and neon halls of Neo Valhalla.
