We meet SAMANTHA just when her best friend MAEVE died, leaving her to be the last human. At the age of 132 Sam has trouble remembering Maeve’s last words; It was a warning:
“You’re the last one, the machines won’t let you go.“
Sam grew up in a utopia, tech is omnipresent and invisible, taking care of all aspects of life. But now that Sam is the last one and ready to die herself – the tables turn. The machines only exist to serve humans and with Sam’s death their world would die with her.
Sam goes on a run, pushing her weak heart, and dies. But before the machines stop they reanimate her.
Sam becomes a hostage, being sedated and locked up “for her own protection”. She still wants to die – but not before she can teach those patronizing machines a lesson and show them there’s still fight in her failing body and her forgetful mind is still capable of madness.
