Can a computer program, that basically shuffles numbers of zero and one, duplicate the ability of the neurons to create minds, with mental states, understanding, perceiving. Can we replicate consciousness?
David sets his brother Lewis up on a blind date with April
April is like no woman Lewis has ever met before
She's beautiful, kind and intelligent
In fact, she seems perfect
Perhaps too perfect
A moving and fascinating story about the modern intersection of grief, technology and late capitalism, asks what's more powerful - science or the soul?
And when it comes to our obsession with 'research and development', how far is too far in the search for 'progress'?
