This AI thriller is a profoundly human story exploring themes of grief, connection, and the illusion of control we have over our own technological creations.

Merril is one of Silicon Valley's leading software engineers, but her life disintegrates when her younger sister Angie vanishes on her way home from college. A year later, when the police have long abandoned their search, Merril assembles all the digital material Angie has left behind and sets about building herself a digital simulation of her sister. The resultant 'virtual Angie' offers her some solace - until, that is, it starts to reveal new details about the real Angie's disappearance.

 By award-winning American playwright Lauren Gunderson, anthropology explores the dark edge of artificial intelligence — and the human cost of trying to control it.
