It does work now! Even more than when set!

I am so surprised that so many people think this is far fetched, and sure those who saw it and did reviews even just 10 years ago can't imagine it. But those who say it's dated in 2023, well what's wrong with you? Yes the obvious black and white and looking still like the early 60s make it that way slightly. But like most TZ episodes saying what is happening in the future is enough to make you think or scream etc. And boy is this one of them now! I don't usually like any kind of show about boxing but this is perfect and works on 3 levels. Firstly it would be a great idea to have boxing and other violent sports do this so people don't get hurt. And secondly, most importantly this is happening now with AI and every profession especially performance ones will all head this way sooner or later! And above all a great piece of entertainment. I totally disagree that this doesn't say much. In fact it is so profound and predictive and the ending monologue says so much about how society will always be!
