of satire and political theater -- from Aristophanes through Swift to Brecht --
NOVA affords a searing glimpse of the commodification of humans in a culture of
the relentless sales pitch. Will husband (Al) succumb to the prurient pressures
of an in-home demonstration of a new robot bride and trade in his living wife
(Marlene)? Will anyone notice the grandfather (Andy Gramps) who expires in
front of his TV during the demo?</span>
