The elderly are still being shoved away in a simulation of their golden years, because I guess that is easier than trying to make room for them in the real world

Yorkie kind of had it bad in the real world her whole life. I can sympathize (though mercifully not directly relate). And I'd much rather San Junipero myself than live out my days in a nursing home. YMMV, obviously.

afterlife" still places everyone's continued existence at the mercy of real-world infrastructure that could decide to just turn them off at any time.

In a lot of ways, Upload is something of a sequel to San Junipero lol
