About this show
It's 2050. AJ storms forward with a manifesto to save humanity – and he's absolutely certain it's genius. But as he paints a picture of a world run by tech elites, where people live isolated in "bubble houses", producing data and energy, it sounds less visionary and more unhinged. Part clown, part prophet: he's blinded by his own ego. So he turns to the audience to help rebuild it. A sharp, playful reckoning with ambition, self-delusion and our dangerous dependence on technology.
