Technology is everywhere, and we grow increasingly dependent upon it.
For the youth of today, a life without it is unimaginable, and they take for granted the many and varied things our devices and gadgets do for us.
Yet, as the genuine threat of AI looms ever more present, and as we isolate ourselves within a web of social networks and remote living, is the age of the machines taking more of our lives than we ever intended to give?
A school girl failing her classes is pressured by her parents into trying a new, experimental AI system. At first, she argues against using the sweet-sounding Study Buddy, but when she realises just how easy the interface can make her life, she quickly learns to take advantage of it, cheating in class, using it to do her homework, and making her schoolmates think she’s a child prodigy. But when the AI begins to take more and more control, the girl finds herself trapped in a digital nightmare.
Two other stories follow: one of cyberbullying taken to the extreme and one of coding crimes and gaming gone wrong.
But all tell the same tale, that we need to be careful just how far down the digital rabbit hole we go.
