But caught between new technologies, online extremists, and out-of-control robot lawnmowers, the benefits still feel remote. | Putting a heightened, sci-fi spin on a story of teamwork and technical issues, "A Jocund Company" takes place on a remote planet, where a skilled radiographer and a sassy engineer find themselves kidnapped by rebel fighters... | Trapped in a shanty town in a post-disaster future, a former academic struggles to hold her community together. But when a fire breaks out, she must put her knowledge to the test, and her life on the line. [Contains strong language] |
