3. Health

Olga Koch and her digital assistant are on a mission to get healthy, but the topic is very tricky to compute. How can we be healthy if we don’t know what health even means? What is a placebo, and why don’t we know any of their songs?

Comedian and Computer Scientist Olga Koch takes a deep dive into the world of computer science with her trusty virtual assistant ALGO as the digital duo take the truths that you hold dear and tear them to shreds using logic, like a teenager on the Internet. By applying computer science to the world around her, Olga and ALGO take a hilarious and pedantic journey to reveal the inherent absurdities of the modern world.
