In Mickey 17, Mickey Barnes is an “expendable” — a disposable employee sent on a deadly mission to colonize the icy planet Niflheim. Every time he dies, his consciousness is uploaded into a new, cloned body, making him essentially immortal, but at great personal cost. After repeated deaths, Mickey begins to question his purpose, his humanity, and the ethics of the system that exploits him. When a duplicate version of himself — Mickey 18 — appears, things spiral into chaos as both versions fight for survival, identity, and meaning. Blending sci-fi, dark humor, and philosophical themes, Mickey 17 explores what it truly means to be alive in a world where death has lost its finality.
