INSCAPE From the mind of Philip K. Dick. A made-for-TV Limited Series

In a post-apocalyptic world that forced US citizens to live underground, a daring spelunker will venture to find the source of a mysterious signal that can spell the end of all underground dwellers or be their salvation. It's 2052. It's World War III: A world decimated by missiles carrying deadly viruses. There was no time for a vaccine, no time for immunity. The surface has become uninhabitable, forcing the remaining US population to flee underground into a massive, converted cavern in New Mexico known as the Sanctuary. On the surface are Sentinel robots controlled by a master A.I. to fight the war. Reports are sent to the Sanctuary with battle updates and robotic casualty numbers. Weapons are continually developed and improved inside the Sanctuary by humans and sent to the surface for the war effort. This has been YAZZIE YAZ Mason's (26) home for 10 years.

A rebel with a talent to get into trouble, Yaz lands in jail where she expresses her resentments to the current regime by covering the walls with graffiti. When an unknown signal is detected from deep in the caverns, followed by the enemy's sudden ability to penetrate the US surface shields, Yaz's mother, BERKELEY BERK MASON, a high-level Sanctuary official, recruits her daughter, the best spelunker she knows, for a daring mission to find the source of the signal. Yaz sees this as an opportunity to try and locate her father, FRANK MASON, the man who taught her everything about cave exploring and who disappeared years ago. Frank was the chief architect of the Sanctuary but was not able to get underground when the bulkheads were closed at the start of the war. Berk thinks he's dead, but Yaz believes otherwise.

INSCAPE is a multipart limited series. This is episode one of the series.

Great Voice, Engaging Story, but Format Was Tricky

Inscape has a really good storyline—unique, engaging, and well-paced. I especially loved the narrator’s voice; it added a lot of depth and emotion to the experience. However, the screenplay format made it a bit difficult to follow at times. While it might work well in print or on screen, it doesn’t translate as smoothly to audio. Still, an enjoyable listen overall, just be prepared for a bit of extra focus to follow the structure.
