My overall impression

An apt and sometimes frightening portrayal of how we’ve invited technology to play a leading role in our lives. Clever, yes, but also cautionary. The request to live-tweet, vine or post about the show (during the show) only helped to reinforce our generations’ addiction. Loved the choice to have actors onstage sullenly lost in their phones when not part of the central action. Solid cast with a particularly adept performance from Nathan Turner as the agent you-love-to-hate. Interesting direction and writing, making this one definitely worth the watch.
