The Animated Short 'Reach' Is a 3-Minute Snapshot of Our Technological Moment

And it's super-charming, too.

It's pretty obvious why Luke Randall's animated short "Reach" has won just about every honorific under the sun. In the space of about 3 minutes, it empathetically and playfully explores the limits of modern robotics—It plays like a charming, searching little tone poem about our technological moment. Our gadgets are amazing, the possibilities seem endless, and we can feel AI peering out from around every bend. But just our limitations are still staggering, too.
