We/Us (2023)

In the near future, a 28yo coder, GILES, returns from his established life in London, to his family home in Kent, with stunning news, guaranteed to shock his parents. Through his work at visionary tech firm MindCorp, he has been invited to partake in a revolutionary procedure: the networking of four human brains, to create a singular personality, that exists within, and across, all four bodies. This new evolution in man is known as a Cognitive Quad-and referred to as a C-QUAD. The four bodies remain independent, but are controlled by a singular mind, that consumes all four personalities. As a result, all four donor humans become known as one new identity, in this case QUENTIN, and they adopt we/us pronouns. Giles' mother, BERNADETTE (56), struggles to comprehend what this means to her, to Giles, and is floored when Giles explains that part of the process is the need to get a death certificate issued-effectively killing her son.
