About this listen
Welcome to the destiny of future generations.
Arty Intel, an artificially intelligent robot, is created with the purpose to care for a human child named Stanley. He uses this task to study the human species and form his personal psychoanalysis of the human race.
In this futuristic universe, technology is interlocked with the daily survival of all humans. Arty has the ability to understand emotions, their causes, and their effects, but is incapable of feeling them himself. Watching and learning from Stanley’s life, Arty observes the issues of mental health, education, corporate culture, and family life. Stanley, being the primary source of Arty’s research, battles the typical emotions humans experience in different stages of life as he grows from boy to man.
Upon entering the corporate workforce, Stanley is intrigued to meet Rose: someone very different from the drone-like humans he has grown to tolerate as an adult. As the relationship between Rose and Stanley unfolds, so does Arty’s conclusion on humanity.
