    Matt workshopped this play during Sewanee Writers Conference and it was easily one of my favorites. He does a great job of capturing the congested, suffocating feeling of our current existence. The future is now, and somehow, an android understands what it means to be human better than we do. This is a script that layers multiple themes, including (but not limited to): late-stage capitalism, the ethics of AI, misogyny, and orientalism. Give this script a read, it'll be worth your time!
