Since its inception, science fiction has served as a prism through which to view technological anxieties: Godzilla and Superman rising out of atomic dust, robot lovers that make viewers question the uniqueness of human life, the thrilling and perverse march of extractivism beyond the solar system. The genre's most original narratives exorcise those fears through catharsis. Of all the modern worries, the disconnect between our internet selves and real lives might be the most slippery thing yet to fold into the dramatic arcs of science fiction. Yet somehow, in the last six months, cinema has exploded with a type of film that might be best suited to containing its unwieldy contours: the multiverse movie. It's somewhat surprising that such an apt manifestation of the internet has taken so long to develop.
