The catalogue in 3D
The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.
How it feels
Two high school girls create a robot boyfriend using a military artificial intelligence program. The robot is designed to be the perfect partner, but things get complicated when a real boy starts to show interest.
