Exploring 'Pluribus': Isolation and Resilience in the COVID Era

Vince Gilligan and Rhea Seehorn discuss their new sci-fi series 'Pluribus,' set in Albuquerque, where a mysterious alien signal causes a global contagion that unites humanity in a psychic collective, with the story exploring themes of heroism, artificial intelligence, and human resilience. The show, starring Seehorn, was created to feature a protagonist who is a reluctant hero, and reflects Gilligan's interest in more optimistic stories and concerns about AI's impact on society.
