Virtual Revolution

During filming, Maximilien Poullein insisted on meeting Jane Badler even though they shared no scene together. Indeed, as a kid, Poullein was so afraid of Badler's role in V (1984) he did not even want to wear green because that was the skin color of the "lizards from outer space" in the TV series.

It is said the majority of people all over the Earth become "Connected", or remain in virtual reality all the time. But it is not explained how they are earning and feeding themselves and their families, how they pay for their net recharge. Remaining in virtual reality doesn't earn anyone money.

It is explained that people receive a universal income that buys them basic supplies, pays their rent, and pays the costs for being connected. As people live to around 40 there's no health care, and their expenses rarely exceed rent and food.
