The Human Way

Available for over a year

Future set drama about two young people enlisted on a programme designed to break the hold technology has on communication and relationships written by Thomas Pickles. Over-exposure to pornography, the glamorisation of true crime, and the overdose of social media has dismantled human connection. A desensitised society consists of predominantly hermit-like living. People prefer to isolate themselves into small dwellings, working remotely, carrying out the vast majority of daily life online. And sex has become about pixels not people. The Human Way promises to wean people off Semi Artificial Virtual Reality and rehabilitate them back into real human life by guiding them through reconstructions of life before the internet. Jacob and Izzy are making progress on The Human Way until they meet Tas and discover a darker more disturbing side of the programme. JACOB.…Tachia Newall IZZY.....
