I read this play in one sitting. I was instantly immersed in the eerily familiar world that has been crafted here-- one where people are raised to believe that human connection is inferior to technological advancements. It would've been easy for this play to feel pessimistic, to walk away from experiencing it without hope. Yet, Drew has masterfully created a piece that is simultaneously a warning and a reminder that our humanity will always be worth fighting for, through gestures big and small.

Simultaneously terrifying and full of heart. Rather than getting bogged down in philosophical speculations or science fiction, the play beautifully paints the likely human cost of AI's potential. The way the final scene brings a ray of hope to the dystopia brought me to tears.

Just saw this at the Valdez Theatre Conference and it was the most thought-provoking thing I saw all week. A fascinating, deftly imagined look at the AI-tinged future we'll all careening towards, it's both bleak and hopeful, disturbing and deeply human. It's easy to stage, disarming in the simplicity of its setup and filled with the sort of humanity that, the play suggests, we are all in danger of losing. Very much worth a read.
