Ada is out now!

Should we eradicate mosquitoes? Create superintelligent AI? Create artificial wombs? These are some of the questions on Ada’s mind as she heads to the first day of her new job at the public library. She soon realizes her daily reality–mundane duties, grumpy boss–is completely at odds with the urgency she feels about the pressing problems facing humanity. 

Ada struggles to balance this reality with the future she imagines, where she explores her big ideas with anyone who will listen–her boss, her grandmother, or an unsuspecting visitor to the library.

Ada is a five episode series that explores the ethical and social implications of new technologies. Each episode features two visually distinct worlds: Ada’s reality and the future she imagines. Each episode’s imagined future showcases new environments, color palettes, textures, and character designs that reflect the episode’s topic.

Watch the trailer or go straight to Episode 1: How to survive the apocalypse.
