CHATBOT: Title: A Shot of Reason Genre: Romantic Comedy / Science-Fiction / Techno-thriller Synopsis: In the not-too-distant future, the landscape of Europe and America is fractured. Society is steeped in technology beyond our wildest dreams, with ground-effect aircraft carriers ruling the skies, anti-ballistic aerosols shielding nations from rogue missiles, and mind control arrays mediating conflicts.
