The progress of technology, in our times, has been both exciting and bewildering to witness. Many of us can remember playing video games from a cassette (which normally failed to load altogether) and calling a phone number to find out the time. Now we carry billions of pieces of information in our pockets and can ask a robot to write us a poem. It is a strange landscape, but fast-talking talent Aurie Styla is the man to navigate it.

Aurie became a tech-lover in early childhood, and his journey through life has been mapped out by gadgets. We retrace that journey with him in this hybrid of stand-up and cultural history. It dips into the delicious nostalgia of the technology we've left behind, takes a look at the astounding tech-wizardry around us today, and asks what might come next.

The forces of tech shape our lives more every day, and none of us fully understand them - but Aurie is closer than most. With this pacy, vital guide from a young black comic voice, we might all feel a bit less lost.
