THE STORY: Merril has been spending more time with her sister Angie lately, but she’s not ready for anyone to know about it. At least, not until she’s ready to explain that Angie is an AI creation she developed to cope with her sister’s disappearance and death. When virtual Angie offers the possibility that real Angie might be still alive, Merril does everything she can to work with her creation to find her sister. But as the search continues, it becomes less and less clear whether an AI creation that Merril programmed to help her might have developed motives of its own.
“ANTHROPOLOGY is up-to-the-minute, grappling with AI and its philosophical implications in a thoroughly engaging way…[It] engages with our tech-mediated lives and with speculative futures in a way theatre rarely does.” —The Standard (UK).
“Gunderson prods and pokes around at the ethical implications but deliciously never settles for an answer. Instead she throws down the gauntlet whilst weaving together a cerebral thriller where each twist and turn tugs on the heart strings.” —Broadway World UK.
“A highly original, beautifully written piece.” —Daily Mail (UK).
“Fizzingly intelligent.” —The Times (UK).
