The show title refers to future technology that makes it possible to just spin up a new John Roderick by feeding all the information that is publicly available about him into a computer.

Dan did not do his conceit of saying "Hello" from accross the room and running over. It just felt like a normal moment with a normal person. Normalcy will be Dan's for this episode and John welcomes Dan to Normalcy, because he is the duke of Normalcy!

John was just waking up, he got some text, some alerts, a phone call and now he is doing a show with Dan. He splashed some water on his face, he got some coffee and he is ready!
