Set in a powerful subterranean computer lab in the not to distant future, a robotics engineer labors over his greatest creation. Endeavoring to bring sentient life to a robot through artificial intelligence (AI), his drone assistant aids him in his research and carries out his directive. What follows is a short cautionary tale, a whimsical take on several old adages, ‘be careful what you wish for’, ‘all that glitters is not gold’, and ‘the road to hell is paved with good intentions’. This comical short sketch is essentially a retelling of Mary Shelley’s ‘Frankenstein Monster’, where our mad scientist and his sidekick drone end up with more than they bargained for.
