Elliot isn’t a Christian or he wouldn’t have been considered for his “ascendence”. So he’s going to find out that God and Satan do in fact exist, and he’ll be damned for eternity, unless he can switch sides before it’s too late…
This is a razor-sharp parable of technocracy wrapped in gothic horror. Elliott isn’t choosing life or death so much as servitude or erasure. The genius here is showing immortality not as freedom but as oligarchy with fangs.
Would love to see you push the question: is joining them salvation for mankind’s progress, or the ultimate betrayal of it?
