Description

This cutting-edge science fiction drama unfolds as a futuristic detective story. Murder, blackmail, conspiracy - and it may all be orchestrated by an Artificial Intelligence. Years ahead of its time, The Fourth Ambit is still an exciting and thoughtful exploration of the future of technology.

Gilles is doing research at a university when he stumbles onto some anomalies. His discoveries lead to a web of intrigue and danger he never envisioned – or wanted.

Blackmailed into being a tracker, Gilles goes to work doing quasi-legal research for one of the corporations that run the Ambit. He soon discovers that the Ambit itself is but a shadow of a much more elaborate virtual world – The Second Ambit. Beneath that there is a Third, darker Ambit, which the corporations may not even control.

And, if the rumors are true, a Fourth Ambit, built and controlled by a virulent AI.

This nine-part science fiction radio play draws you into a detailed and fully immersive world of the near future. Ambitious story-telling, sophisticated effects and music, and extraordinary acting combine for an audio drama experience like nothing you've ever heard.

This might be one of the best and most profound fictional creations I've ever came accross. The existencial dimension of this work is just astonishing! I can't even wrap my head around some of the theoretical horizons this podcast explores ... I just finished it and can't wait to go through it again. Hats down to the writer, the sound ingeneer and the voice actor (thinking that all of these voices are just one person is just ... I can't even...). You have a hardcore fan in me. That's for sure.
