About Marjorie Prime
During the dawn of artificial intelligence, people will go to the extreme in order to cope with loss. In Marjorie Prime, residents of a distant future seek to resurrect the dead as a pixelated and replicated form that retains chunks of information from the past. Exploring the depths and complexity of the human psyche, Marjorie Prime raises the question of whether any part of the human spirit could ever be replaced with technology.
A mess of fragmented, fading memories, 85-year-old Marjorie is given respite in the form of a gorgeous new companion who is designed to feed her the story of her life. If we were presented with the opportunity, what would we remember and what would we forget?
