In a hyper-connected future where reality is streamed and curated by AI, Truman “Tru” Ellis lives an idyllic life in the seemingly perfect city of New Arcadia—unaware that every moment of his existence is being broadcast to billions. Raised since birth inside an immersive, AI-controlled simulation called EdenStream, Tru is the only real human in a world populated by synthetic actors and subscriber-controlled avatars. But when glitches in the system begin to disrupt his carefully programmed routine, Truman starts questioning the world around him, triggering a crisis that could upend the most popular entertainment property on Earth. As Truman seeks the truth, the AI controlling the show—CHRYSALIS—adjusts the narrative in real time to keep him compliant, while viewers across the globe debate whether to help him escape or keep watching. Blending psychological sci-fi with sharp social commentary, The Truman Show explores the ethics of digital entertainment, algorithmic control, and the human cost of living in a world designed for clicks.
