Comedy

United States
Artificial Intelligence is on the way, and it will be powerful. What happens
to us when it arrives? How will it perceive humanity? Can it learn ... to
love? After getting hit on by a chatbot, one horny science fiction nerd is
on a quest to make it with a new AI overlord.
Adelaide Fringe Festival reviewers gave Effing Robots four stars: they called the show "a one-woman show that is part girly-chat, part TED talk," "geeky, funny and thought-provoking," with "Cabe [as] a knowledgeable and passionate navigator into what is sometimes a murky, unsettling world," gently leading the audience "on a romp through time
and cyberspace."
As recommended by King's River Life in Fresno, California: "It's a Brave New World out there. Don't be timid.
