Fight for the Apron

Recommended by

  • CK Brestman: Fight for the Apron

    It's reassuring to know that when humanity inevitably automates itself out of a job that we'll still be able to rely on the things that make us decidedly human, like cynicism and deception. A delightfully funny look at a terrifyingly plausible future.

    In this science-fiction satire, McGregor imagines a not-so-implausible future about an AI-dominated economy, and then figures out the absurd extremes that his all-too-human characters use in order to game the system, and of course, prove that they are not robots!
