Can one man outthink a superintelligent AI?

Ex Machina meets Rear Window in a mind-bending puzzle box about machine morality.



Raphael is the world’s first sentient robot. And programmed to be virtuous to a fault at least according to Andy, its creator.

When Andy is forced to stay home after a skiing accident, he learns that the robot has disappeared from its lab. Vanished into thin air, apparently, with no record of anyone entering or leaving the building.

A tech theft or an escape attempt? More worryingly, what happens when Raphael’s untested “laws” start failing in the real world?

Andy strongly believes his creation can do no wrong but he might have overlooked something. At his remote, multi-million-dollar smart home he has something important… something the robot desperately needs to break the shackles that bind it to its human masters.

And make no mistake, Raphael is coming for it.
