Doomers: an AI Play in two acts

A visionary is ousted, the board is panicking, and the future is already here. Definitely not based on real events.

Two acts. Two San Francisco luxury apartments. Two war rooms.

In one: the founder of a fictional AI company – bratty, worshipped, and feared – plots his revenge with an inner circle of advisors and true believers.

In the other: a boardroom of Substack writers, ex-CIA operatives, Zoomer coders, and corporate Judases scramble to enjoy their final hours in charge, knowing you can’t actually fire a founder. (Remember when Apple fired Steve Jobs in the ’80s?)

Set in Silicon Valley back when Twitter was still X.
