Mindbending, hilarious, and poignant! At the start of the script, Vanderark says that the play asks the question "When have we replaced too much?" and that really is such a potent, clear, and affecting throughline that guides the play and provides a unifying focus that really makes this piece so much more than just the sum of its parts. There is so much hilarity in here (particularly most times AI is meant to reproduce the thoughts and creative output of human beings) amidst the pervasive, touching, and undeniable reminders of what makes humanity human. Theatrical and bold!

This twisting series of vignettes brilliantly confuses how we see other peoples and ourselves. Darkly humorous, it asks us to consider where our need for control is driving us and what authenticity means in a reality of imitations. Gripping, exciting, tragic, and definitely thought-provoking

A brilliant series of nightmares that would make Philip K. Dick proud. Compelling from beginning to end. This play completely took me by surprise- highly recommend

Fun, funny, and head-spinning... this play has me considering the trajectory our culture is on with relationship to technology. Siri, Google, Alexa, etc. all aim to improve our lives in various ways, and this play explores what that might look like down the road. To me it's not that pretty (I mean the imagined future, not the play which is aesthetically brilliant). What this play dramatizes has me worried about humanity losing one thing that makes us human, which is the authentic interpersonal relationships with each other.

A powerful, at times hilarious, and endlessly intriguing play about what it means to be human in a world increasingly populated by technology. A real delight for performers, who get to explore an array of human and AI characters throughout each of the play's vignettes. It's a wild, funky, scary, charming, incredible piece of theatre!

This is a beautiful play! Fearless experimentation with form, and equally fearless embrace of a tragic, technocratic future we may very well be heading for -- and yet, explored with humanity, imagination, and love. The perfect antidote to dystopia.
