So could it be that Abi has been possessed by the artificial intelligence they have developed? Or is something even more sinister at play here?<p> <p>A very nice piece of cyber-horror, and one that manages to express the concerns of the over-digitalized age through physical action, making the underlying conflict palpable rather than smothering it in endless arguments.
