Yeah, but that turns into more of an Altered Carbon situation, where it’s not really a secret, it’s just so expensive only the mega rich can afford it.
Everyone in Altered Carbon gets a stack, in the book they talk about how nobody wants to live that long except the rich people, who are broken inside and no longer human
Never read the book. The show is a bit different. From what I’ve come to understand, it was not an improvement.
Still, though, I think you get my point. The powerful and rich would want to capitalize and profit from this technology. They could keep it to themselves to the elites simply by making it un affordable to anyone else. Keeping it as a secret is counterintuitive to that goal.
