Secrets, lies, and a motherboard odyssey.
Tech influencer Retro and her childhood robot, Comet, host a blockbuster relationship podcast, standing as beacons of hope for human and AI harmony. But a secret affair sparks a public meltdown, exposing the web of lies holding their relationship together.
The Astonishing Comet Boombox is a wild, multi-generational journey of two ex-best friends caught in a public fallout. Now on opposite sides of a human-AI conflict, they reunite on an Esther Perel podcast and embark on an ancestral journey to the motherboard factory where it all began.
Surreal, bold, and wickedly funny, The Astonishing Comet Boombox explores the bizarre, fragile moment when humans and AI attempt to talk peace.
