Sci-fi crime thriller Almost Human takes place in a world full of exciting new technology.
Here are the inventions we covet the most…
The year is 2048.
Evolving technologies can no longer be regulated.
Dangerous advancements forever alter the criminal landscape.
Police are not prepared.
Law enforcement combats this corruption with a new line of defence… but not all are created equal.
Technology porn is an undeniable part ofAlmost Humans attraction.
Some, like the Bitcoin stick or organic 3D printer, appear to be on their way.
Others, likeAlmost Humans sophisticated DRN and MX androids, feel somewhat further off.
Criminal disguises too have come a long way by 2048.
Even if the tech involved is really, really cool.
Thirdly we have the Coms.
They could probably deliver Amazon packages too, wed have thought.
Which brings us to law enforcements Almost Human trump card: its Synthetics.
Well take two kindly.
Medical advances in future-set sci-fi are always some of its most covetable inventions.
MX and DRN units, as mentioned above, also have considerable medical applications.
Want Cheryl Coles nose or David Beckhams cheekbones?
Simply steal their DNA and inject it into yourself using Nanobots to rebuild you from the inside.
Just to warn you though, this procedure isnt without its fatal side effects.
Instead, sheets of OHT-style clear transparent polythene load up whatever digital information has been saved on them.
If that doesnt tickle you, then how about playing with your own personal giraffe orBlade Runner-style electrical butterfly?
Anyway, we think they might already sell those in Argos.
Were also not convinced that having vehicle number plates as bar codes is all that hot an idea.
As Dorian reminds John in episode one, Sometimes newer technology isnt better….
Almost Human airs on Tuesdays at 9pm (on Sky 109 and Virgin 124) on Watch.
