The new startup incubator BioInnovate is ready for its first major success. The Emote, a novel brain-machine interface to treat mental illnesses, is just finishing clinical trials when the outspoken Dr. Elise Stockmann, a staff scientist, reveals what she thinks may be very serious behavioural side-effects. Soon everyone has turned on her, trying to keep her quiet for the good of the company – and for the good of everyone’s wallet. This adaptation of Ibsen’s classic play about the failings of the majority is set in the present and in our own academic backyard |
