Falling Forward is a 10-part sci-fi micro about love, hubris, and coding too close to the sun. Episodes release daily starting March 1, 2022, concluding with a supercut of the whole series on March 11. Falling Forward follows Icarus' efforts to take down Labyrinth Corporation after it's founder, Theseus, stole tech from Icarus' family. Fueled by rage at the death of his aunt Ariadne and ignoring the cautionary advice from his dad Daedalus, Icarus is set on destruction. But will it be the destruction of Labyrinth, or the destruction of Icarus? Transcript begins below. ICARUS: Holy shit, I'm in? I've always wanted to say that. ARIADNE: and the proof of a successful hacking of the unhackable app was supposed to be your, I quote, “stop calling things un-anything-able, it just tempts fate and I’ll prove it” moment. ARIADNE: Getting caught is only one potential negative outcome. There are a lot of others. ICARUS: Are you gonna do the ethics thing at me again? Because I think we’re past it. I just hacked into the biggest company in the history of humanity. ARIADNE: And you are prepared to cause one of the biggest disasters in the history of humanity as a direct result. ICARUS: I have the chance to do something good here. Something big. Something that will make all the shit we all dealt with mean something. ARIADNE: You have a habit of diving into things headfirst without considering the consequences.
