Delos Explained in Westworld
Short Answer
Delos is the corporation behind Westworld, using entertainment as a cover for data extraction, immortality research, and control.
On the surface, Delos sells fantasies to wealthy guests. Beneath that surface, it gathers intimate behavioral data and attempts to copy human minds into host bodies.
Delos is the bridge between park violence and real-world systems of ownership. Its dream is not just profit but the conversion of human life into proprietary code.
