We're the experiment.

The Experiment

What if we aren't the customers?

Every few years, another technology changes the way we live.

  • The internet.
  • Smartphones.
  • Social media.
  • Algorithms.
  • Artificial intelligence.

We adopt them. Trust them. Depend on them. Build our lives around them.

But what if the technology was never the experiment?

The technology works.

We're the experiment.

The Human Variant/Case 001

The First Case

Case 001

The Update

Daniel Navarro trusts technology — because, like most of us, he has no reason not to.

Until his devices begin predicting what he'll do before he does it.

So he deliberately makes a different choice.

And the system notices.

The closer Daniel gets to the truth, the less anyone believes him.

Am I discovering something…

or am I losing my mind?
