Book nowAbout
“Being an ally is all well and good, but how far will you go to do the right thing, especially when your livelihood is on the line.”
Myles Away follows the founder of a tech company who gets laid off just before their annual product launch. The eyes of the industry are on the company's flagship artificially intelligent Virtual Reality product, but will they want all the attention on them once Myles has finished interfering with their event, with your help of course.
Using video, audio, and interactivity, Myles Away looks at the relationship between capitalism and discrimination in the tech industry and asks how far we as consumers are willing to go to make a positive change in life.
