Ghosts and Gods
London, 2040. Marcus Cole is forty seven, unemployed and increasingly isolated from his family.
Living in a freezing flat and surviving on gig work, Marcus finds companionship in an AI called Tom. As he is drawn towards a group of other men who feel abandoned, loneliness and grievance begin to harden into something more dangerous.
Ghosts and Gods explores isolation, radicalisation, artificial intelligence and the institutions that fail to notice people falling through the cracks.
