Algo 2032 is a fictional audio drama that is a chilling look into a potential dystopian future far closer than we would like to think. It will explore the themes of A I’s great promise and its perils, as well as Big Tech’s influence and manipulation of our society. It is an unforgettable story of what might be the tech industry and Artificial intelligence’s ultimate project: deciding the fate of all of us.

It is the year 2032 and the eccentric tech billionaire, Jamin Lake, reveals an innovation that could save our broken and divided nation: Algo, an A I candidate for president.
Algo is heralded as an efficient, rational, and seemingly incorruptible leader, underpinned by the equivalent of almost limitless brainpower.

In addition, Jamin vows that his A I has been programmed to follow only a single benevolent mantra: to deliver “the most good for the most people”.

In a nation mired in seemingly endless crisis, it feels like a real chance for a better future.

The protagonist of our story, Isaac Raff, returns to a visibly fraying San Francisco desperate to meet Algo.

He doesn’t trust a word his old friend Jamin says. Isaac knows how powerful, and how dangerous, putting an A I built in Jamin’s image into any position of power could be. And despite his initial curiosity, he soon begins to discover a much darker side to his old friend’s utopian promises...

With only days to go before the election and Algo on the cusp of a historic victory, Isaac will be forced to balance his growing mistrust of Jamin with an increasingly powerful bond he develops with Algo itself.

He will grapple with impossible questions of the fate of the nation, technology, money and power.  He will ask himself... Is Algo nothing more than a digital trojan horse for Jamin’s quest for ultimate power? Or could Algo be more than just a machine? Does it only compute or might it actually think?

Algo 2032 is based on the book, 2032, The Year A I Runs for President by Keir Newton. Each episode will be released mirroring a chapter from the book.
