In Vince Gilligan’s show *Pluribus*, the complex narrative makes it difficult to connect with Carol (Rhea Seehorn) and foresee your responses. For a peek, consider searching “Pluribus” on Google. The search engine’s newest Easter egg celebrates the Apple TV series with a witty feature. Above the search results, a phrase flows by: “What are you searching for, Carol?” This reflects the omniscient collective consciousness in *Pluribus*, referred to as The Joining, who interact with Carol as a single unit, providing ongoing positive reinforcement. The Joined are reminiscent of an AI chatbot, making Google’s Easter egg, situated above AI Overviews, rather unsettling. If you require me, I’ll be at a Norwegian ice hotel catching up on *Bloodsong of Wycaro*.
