About the show

'This technology is being pushed on us at a time when the world is moving towards authoritarianism' (Geoffrey Hinton). Does AI spell the end of humanity, or the dawn of a new utopia? Fringe First Winner Joe Sellman-Leava (Labels, Fanboy) might be a technophobe, but he's going to try and find out! Using innovative design and a whirlwind of uncanny impressions, Joe tells the story of a teacher, a student, and a copycat dictator, to examine the links between art, fascism and rapid technological change. 'Smart, sharp writing' **** (Stage review of It's The Economy, Stupid!)
