Transcendence

Synopsis

Set in the near future, this cautionary sci-fi tale is thought-provoking and slick. It sees brilliant artificial intelligence scientist Dr. Will Caster and his researcher wife work toward the creation of an all-knowing, sentient machine called PINN. A radical anti-technology organisation fights to prevent him, fearful of the consequences of a world where computers are able to transcend the capabilities of the human mind. Their attack leaves Will with a bullet in the stomach laced with radiation, plunging him into in a race against time to save his own consciousness like a computer file.
