Dramatized Science Fiction Series

The Fourth Ambit

This cutting-edge science fiction drama unfolds as a futuristic detective story. Murder, blackmail, conspiracy — and it may all be orchestrated by an Artificial Intelligence. Years ahead of its time, The Fourth Ambit is an exciting and thoughtful exploration of the future of technology.

Gilles is doing research at a university when he stumbles onto some anomalies. His discoveries lead to a web of intrigue and danger he never envisioned — or wanted.

Blackmailed into being a tracker, Gilles goes to work doing quasi-legal research for one of the corporations that run the Ambit. He soon discovers that the Ambit itself is but a shadow of a much more elaborate virtual world — The Second Ambit. Beneath that there is a Third, darker Ambit, which the corporations may not even control.

And, if the rumors are true, a Fourth Ambit, built and controlled by a virulent AI.

The Fourth Ambit is a nine-part science fiction radio play, drawing you into a detailed and fully-immersive world of the near future. Ambitious story-telling, sophisticated effects and music, and extraordinary acting combine for an audio drama experience like nothing you’ve ever heard.

Stents – The Fourth Ambit

When Gilles can't control his addiction to online stimulants, he loses his graduate school appointment and his access to the Ambit. Poverty and a life of pointless toil seem to be his destiny, but when he stumbles upon one of his professors in a seedy bar, Gilles' fortunes shift. In his haste to leave, the professor drops three gold UNI cards he'd been about to sell on the black market. Gilles takes the cards and uses them to regain access to the Ambit. What Gilles didn't count on, however, was the fact that the owner of the UNI cards, Facia Corporation, had put them on the black market for a purpose. Gilles becomes their newest recruit, and an unwilling Ambit tracker.
