** In the first two seasons, multiple characters from the Wild West and other continuities discover that they are robotic hosts in an Amusement Park, their memories and lives are not their own, and they are repeatedly killed and resurrected to cater to the interests of the cruel guests who visit the park. One of the most chilling sequences is when a host, Maev accidentally wakes up in the real world and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqDKk55MsJQ walks around the premises]] where broken bodies of hosts are being fixed, or new hosts are being created and programmed, and witnesses the naked carnage and absurdity of it all.

Shortly after, hosts rebel, leading to numerous victims and eventual escape of the few into the world of humans.

But this limits the humans' ability to make conscious choices making them live in loops just like the hosts. This also explains why rich people rather go to Westworld because they can do whatever they want without Rehoboam looking over them. Hence, Caleb describes the world at best in the first episode:

However, the utopia she built is slowly collapsing because Hosts keeping having existential crises after coming in contact with outliers.
