What if the mass-adoption of a nascent technology was humanity’s undoing?

What if we’re seeing this play out in our real day-to-day lives, right now?

What if Ad Lucem is just art imitating life?

There are so many “what ifs” that come to mind after getting into this week’s podcast recommendation and none of them are far-fetched.

Least far-fetched is the core of Ad Lucem’s premise – that we’ll continue to build technology that simulates the human connection we’re biologically wired to seek out and that might not turn out so well.

CARA, a virtual assistant helmed by a live operator, is programmed to respond to the wants and needs of their clients in real time – the way only a human can.

CARA’s next big update brings more than humanity bargained for.

Ad Lucem is a nine-episode, socio-political thriller about the ethical dilemmas that surface when we trade the fundamentals of our existence for digital conveniences.

This gripping thriller explores what happens when the boundaries between technology and reality become increasingly blurred in the relentless pursuit of human connection.

Podcast fans and futurists take note: this may be a fictional account centered on the unravelling of humanity’s desire to connect, but it does a fantastic job blurring the lines between our current day and the not-so-distant future it takes place in.

Hold on to your humanity, have a listen and share what you think.
