INSPIRATION
When machines do most of humanity’s thinking, creativity has become the last remaining stronghold where people still have the upper hand. But for how long? Martin, the head copywriter of the most celebrated advertising agency in town, suddenly finds himself written out of a job by artificial intelligence after a merger with a technology company. He is left with no other option. His next move must be one that nobody expects, least of all his digital nemesis. If playing by the rules doesn’t work, it’s time for a little anarchy.
