Most of us have issues dealing with grief. The point everybody agrees about is that there are no shortcuts and that we need time to "move on".
But what if technology would give us a chance to stay were we are? I can see lots of morbid developments, of which this episode is a chilling example.
Freshly widowed Martha discovers she is pregnant and she is desperate to communicate the news to her deceased partner, Ash. A new "service" allows her to create an account based on Ash's presence on social media. Martha can now "phone" Ash and talk to him.
Some additional - creepy - technology allows her to create a copy of Ash, but guess what? A replica is not like the real thing and Martha realises a bit too late that she is stuck with something that looks like Ash, but is not quite the same.
So, when is it time to let go, if you can hold on forever?
