ARAMID:
A Futuristic Sci-Fi Thriller... 
​

Picture
​She’s everything they ever wanted.  And that’s the problem.
 
“She” is Aramid.  The year is 2080, and Human Replacement robots – or Reps – are an integrated part of society.  At Ledgewood High in Los Angeles, five Advanced Robotics students build a female Rep named Aramid with plans to register her in a cut-throat competition to find the nation’s most lifelike robot.  But complications quickly arise.  The students begin to use her as a means to their own ends, illegally extracting Aramid’s “morality chip.”  The Rep begins to unravel, exhibiting many of the same problems as her teenage creators – lying, stealing, jealousy and, worst of all, rage, which threatens to turn her into a killing machine. 
 
The events set in motion a riveting sci-fi thriller whose characters face a web of moral dilemmas with no easy answers.
