CHAPTER 8

Computer Reliability

Computer Reliability is seen often in OtherLife, as errors are a common problem with the technology. Throughout the film, Ren is constantly finding and fixing errors with OtherLife, which can be seen when she is testing the snowboarding experience, and finds a bug that causes her to stay in there for 6 OtherLife days; she then finds and fixes the error. Another example is when Danny takes the partially tested scuba experience, where he has a seizure from bugs in the code. Lastly, it can also be seen during the 365 days of solitary confinement, as there is a bug that causes Ren to break out and has the non-scripted experience.
