Metamorphosis (Has the world changed, or is it just me?)

The Morton Players (Guildford High School)

What is normal when algorithms decide? Data analysts synthesise the distorted live experiment that is ‘the Samsa family’. Gregor wakes grotesquely transformed — every movement tracked, predicted, judged. Is he broken, or just outside the data set? They measure behaviour, forecast reaction. If productivity defines worth, what happens when you can’t perform? Are we shaping society — or being shaped? Inspired by Franz Kafka's classic novella, this reimagining explores AI algorithms, manipulated lives, and human mutability. Am I normal — or just compliant? Step inside. Scroll. Accept?
