​The My Fair Lady story gets a thoroughly modern, thoroughly invigorating update in this unsparing (and hilarious) look at America’s capitalist tech culture. Eli is a tough young woman who makes paper flowers on Venice Beach, where she lives in a homeless tent camp. A chance encounter with a smug tech CEO, Hig, sparks an intriguing quid pro quo: she brings him an image-burnishing entrepreneurial offer, and he, in turn, hires her to present GAL - his new artificial intelligence service - at an upcoming conference. The clash of cultures results in a surprisingly insightful exploration of the shady side of AI, sexism in the tech world, economic disparity, and the human cost of relentless progress.

Directed by Rachel Chavkin.

The story was super interesting! I immediately recalled the sci-fi TV series “Halo”. Really enjoyed it.

This story offers so many insights into what it means to be a woman today. I cried at the recognition of such truths and gained a deeper understanding of how I to move into a different socioeconomic strata while maintaining compassion and a sense of identification with all of most of us who are financially and existentially struggling every day. #TeamHuman #WomenDeserveSuccess

Cool listen …

Not what I was expecting. This was more like listening to a play than listening to a book. Took a minute for me to adjust and then I loved it. Quick listen, engaging story and really great actors.

Intriguing listen

I found this play interesting and well acted. The spunkiness and intelligence of the Eli character were fun to listen to.

Bravo!

Very well done remake/modernization of Pygmalion or My Fair Lady. Thoroughly enjoyed this quick read.

Good short story well done.

Where’s the ending. Could have listens to this a few more hrs. Great work by the voices. Love the full cast short stories.

Riveting performance

I won’t be a spoiler but I can say the story took on expected turns. The writing and performance were both superb. My only criticism is that, if you’re looking for a more settling mood, this would not be the story for you.

My fair lady Silicon Valley

Great show!

Downloaded this as it is part of the Audible Plus catalog. Very glad I did. Extremely entertaining and surprisingly thought provoking. Thanks

The ending was too preachy. I liked GB Shaw’s ending better. But it was a fun listen up until the end.
