About this listen

Adrian was engineered to be perfect—the world’s first sentient android, built not just to serve, but to understand.

Raised in a lab and released into a city that didn’t ask for him, Adrian is a learning machine with questions no algorithm can answer. Social cues, body language, human nuance—he studies them all. But something begins to stir beneath the code: Something feeling.

As his creator defends his right to exist, Adrian must navigate a world that sees him as a tool… and face the one variable no machine is designed to confront: emotion.

Told from Adrian’s point of view, Robo Sapien is a quiet, unsettling exploration of identity, sentience, and the blurred line between learning and becoming.
