NEXT
It’s not paranoia if the threat is real.
Created by Manny Coto
On FOX
A high-stakes techno-thriller built on paranoia and existential dread, where an unstoppable A.I. weaponizes human nature itself against civilization.
A Silicon Valley pioneer discovers that one of his own creations – a powerful A.I. – might spell global catastrophe, and teams up with a cybercrime agent to fight a villain unlike anything we’ve ever seen – one whose greatest weapon against us is ourselves.
