About this listen

After 40 years with his beloved wife, Henry is alone for the first time. His sudden bachelorhood is a struggle for him and his daughter Lisa, who is feeling pressure to fill the void. To give Henry the companionship he’s craving, Lisa buys him a personal robotic assistant. The device transforms Henry’s life and inspires him to embrace the possibility of romance during his golden years. This hilarious and touching play explores love, loss, and the real connection humans can have with technology - once you figure out how the heck to use it.

Like a play. Some heartwarming moments, especially the ending. By and large it dragged, but there were some good insights into the human condition.

Fun. Won't listen again.

I love the narration, theme, and the way “Alexa” witty humour is infused into the storyline. Having to deal with my kids tormenting Alexa in my house, the story and often off point Alexa responses are so relatable. I love the way the story capture the life of people dealing with grief.

I love it
