for Doomers
“Emily Anderson superbly plays Alina, the ethicist with the heart and soul that Seth lacks. She’s up against the arrogance of a tech elite that plans to control the future…” — Theatrius
“Alina (an excellent Emily Anderson), MindMesh's chief safety officer, feels the weight of the technology's risk, recounting vivid dreams that illustrate her terror of what's being created.” — SF Gate
