In humanity's last act, who plays god?
Doomers is a razor-sharp reflection of our accelerating world, where tech, ethics, and ego collide. It's about the thrill of creation, the fear of losing control, and the uneasy realization that the future might already be slipping from our grasp. A provocative and deeply human drama, Doomers asks: can we survive the technologies we've unleashed? And should we even want to?
