Four people have been selected to live alongside the first iteration of the A.I humanoid - acting as the human components to a series of live-in Turing Tests; an experiment that decidedly values mimetic learning as a crucial tool for integrating machines into society. Each participant has their own motivation for joining the program; Lucia is writing a novel about the creation of female humanoids, exploring a future where they would be required to bear the children of a now resistant and unwilling generation of liberated women. Her partner, Willa is a teacher at an all boys college; she has just been fired following a violent incident with a student. Georgia is a diagnosed sociopath and a psychologist. Her on-again, off-again boyfriend Charlie is a wannabe serious Artist, and worries that the future of A.I will destroy what’s left of individualism and creativity.
As the true nature of this experiment unravels, so do the participants and their relationships to one another. As they try their hardest to keep up appearances, the lies they have told about who they are and what they stand for will be exposed, revealing the messiness of what it means to truly be human.
