Being human. How hard can it be? ❤️‍🩹🌕🤖

INTRODUCING: The OU Drama cast of WALDEN (REMIX) — a modern reimagining of Henry David Thoreau’s Walden and Civil Disobedience that follows H, an 18-year-old girl and the first person to live alone on the moon. As her connection to Earth and humanity begins to fade, she finds unexpected companionship in Larry Bird, a rapidly evolving artificial intelligence system.

Together, they explore what it really means to be human when humans keep screwing everything up.
