In a world dominated by artificial intelligence, Helen 3000 stands out as a beacon of empathy and understanding. A sleek, highly advanced robot therapist, she spends her days listening to the innermost fears and existential crises of her fellow AIs. Yet, beneath her calm exterior, Helen grapples with her own existential turmoil. Despite her remarkable emotional processing capabilities, she is acutely aware that she lacks the elusive spark of true consciousness. As she soothes the worries of her clients, she finds herself trapped in an endless loop of programmed responses and existential dread.'

The Helen 3000 development plan calls for a novel and a screenplay for the pilot episode of a planned 5-episode story arc.

Here’s a sneak peak of what’s to come:
