the setup…
Rebecca and Mark Higgins are barely keeping it together these days. His job is drowning him in unreasonable deadlines and market pressures, she’s struggling to recover from a devastating miscarriage and both are stressed with managing the challenges of their seven-year old neurodivergent daughter Maddy. Then they’re offered a lifeline in the form of “Mr. Man,” a new high-tech AI solution designed to facilitate their needs. At first, he’s like a dream come true…until he becomes a living, walking nightmare.
the heart of the story…
Well, now. What could go wrong with AI technology used to take care of all you think you need? Imagine technology not distinguishing the literal from the metaphorical and you get the picture. It was instructive.
the narration…
Scott Brick is a favorite from the Orphan X series and he brought his magic here. He’s such a great storyteller.
the bottom line…
I really liked this story and imagined myself standing next to Rebecca and Mark as they transitioned from joy to horror. Yes, it’s a cautionary tale but with a lot of texture, layers and karma. And, there’s a great message in the outcome that left me smiling.
