Stephen Kaplan – Let There Be
In 1883, two women—one married to the scientist inventing the lightbulb, the other to the reverend resisting it—sit down over birthday cake to debate the future. Sides aren’t what you expect and parlor talk jolts from lightbulbs to AI in a reality-bending collision of past, present, and the terrifying hope of technology racing faster than we can reckon with.
