Could humanity actually survive if our modern world suddenly collapsed tomorrow?
In short: Library assistant Ada imagines a post-apocalyptic future on her first day at work. This animated series explores whether we are truly equipped to handle global collapse, using Ada's visions to examine the ethical and social consequences of emerging technologies.
In this first episode of a five-part narrative, Ada navigates the tension between her ordinary life and the vivid, catastrophic futures she envisions for humanity. The series serves as a platform to investigate how rapid technological advancements might reshape our social structures and moral landscape if civilization were to face a breakdown.
Written by Elizabeth Cox and directed by Cox and Kirill Yeretsky, the story uses Ada's internal journey to prompt viewers to consider the fragility of our current systems and the potential risks inherent in the tools we create.
