Content language:

Sonny and Akiko’s joy upon the arrival of their first child quickly turns to panic when their doctor gives them unimaginable news. Desperate, Sonny considers using his experiment on an AI super-intelligence to prove the doctors wrong, but every action he takes risks a troubling and dangerous reaction.

As a (self-confessed) super-nerd, coder, and father myself, I want Electric Child to explore humanity’s hubris at the emotional breaking point where technology meets the fragility of the human condition.

In quanto super-nerd, coder e padre, con Electric Child voglio esplorare la hybris dell'umanità nel punto di rottura emotiva in cui la tecnologia incontra la fragilità della condizione umana.

As a (self-confessed) super-nerd, coder, and father myself, I want Electric Child to explore humanity’s hubris at the emotional breaking point where technology meets the fragility of the human condition.

Als Nerd, Coder und Vater erforsche ich mit Electric Child die Hybris an der emotionalen Bruchstelle, wo Technologie auf die Zerbrechlichkeit des menschlichen Daseins trifft.

Super-geek, codeur et père moi-même, avec Electric Child je veux explorer l’hubris de l’humanité au point de rupture émotionnel où la technologie rencontre la fragilité de la condition humaine.
