Synopsis

When Eleanor uses a chatbot to write a paper on The Great Gatsby for her, she figures it’s not that big of a deal.

But when her chatbot writes a great essay, she’s sent to a special school for genius children.

Except every other student also used a chatbot to get into the special genius children school.

And that school might not be a school, it might just be prison.

Now Eleanor has to lead a jailbreak with her friends – can she escape without the help of artificial intelligence?

From popular author Don Zolidis comes a play that looks into the future and sees a lot of hilarious, technologically-disruptive chaos.
