After Impact follows the story of Reagan Esther Myer, one of the survivors of a mysterious apocalyptic event called Impact. Shortly after joining the pilot program for ThotBot, a brain implant that erases "harmful" memories and dulls emotions, she begins her life living in an abandoned shopping mall and producing survivalist tutorials for a crumbling world. Shortly after arriving at her new post, she finds a cassette tape detailing her very own journey from the day of Impact -- June 21, 1995 -- up until the day she joins The ULTRA.
This dystopian audio drama is one of four multi-platform "Episodes" that tell the story of Reagan Esther Myer and the ThotBot Storyworld. In addition to this tale, there are also three performance-based Episodes: an interactive installation, a multimedia musical, and an immersive theater show. Whereas each Episode stands alone narratively, together they weave a sprawling story across a mid-90s timeline.
Visit getthotbot.com for more on the other Episodes (and to attend if you find yourself in the Boston area).
