About the Show
Maneesh is a brilliant entry-level programmer at Athena Technologies, a data-mining firm deep in Silicon Valley. Content to work in the low-stress environment of User Experience, Maneesh has a crisis of conscience when he is offered a transfer to the elite Data Analytics team, and learns the true nature of Athena’s work. Torn between the fierce idealism of his friend Riley and the secure company loyalty of his mentor Jonah, Maneesh is forced to come to terms with his own identity, and decide the true cost of his work.
