Marjorie Prime (TCG Edition) - Paperback

by Jordan Harrison (Author)

Finalist for the 2015 Pulitzer Prize for Drama

Nominated for Two 2026 Tony Awards

With help from an intriguingly innovative technology in a future not far from our present, Marjorie examines her past, sometimes replacing her realities with idealized memories. Through deeply drawn characters--both real and in the form of artificial intelligence companions, or "Primes"--Harrison burrows into troubling questions of the digital age: What would we remember, and what would we forget, given the power of authorship? Will we be any less human, once computers know us better than we know ourselves?
