Which do you prefer (if any)?

What is your why?

Sewanee faced how AI would take over her profession.

Has AI touched you or someone in your life?

If so, has it been positive or negative?

Blah-Blah tells Sewanee that once she goes to the memory care part of her home she does not want her family to visit her.

Why?

What would you do if a family member said that to you?

Do we have a right to how we are remembered?

Nick is Brock

Did you suspect this?

Why was Sewanee so upset when she aslo gave and alias?

Is what Sewanee did the same as what Nick did?

Why or why not?

When Blah-Blah attempts suicide Sewanee blames herself since she left the window open.

Was she at fault?

If you had the choice, would you choose Brock or Nick?

Why?
