This play in NYC looks pretty sweet. It looks like it touches on some concepts like Godshatter, idea from Three Worlds Collide, and a healthy understanding of the idea that technology could make us very very different from who we are now.

While exploring many of the common ideas that come attendant with our fascination with A.I., from Borglike interfaced brains to 2001-esque god complexes, DEINDE is particularly focused on two aspects: how to return to being "normal" after experiencing superhuman intelligence, and how, or if we should, return from the experience of being deeply networked with one another. Would we forsake enhanced intellect or profound psychic connection, once felt?

Looks like it's stopped running for now, though.
