Episode Synopsis "Transcendence"
Yesterday, Dr. Will Caster was only human, but today — we’re talking 2014’s Transcendence! It’s the second installment of our "Mid-2000s Transhumanism Movies" miniseries. We overthink everything this movie has to offer: Kurzweil, the singularity, neo-Luddism, the representation of benevolent AI in film, the nature of consciousness, and the greatest training montage in cinema history. Released: April 10, 2014 Directed by: Wally Pfister Written by: Jack Paglen Cast: Johnny Depp, Rebecca Hall, Paul Bettany, Morgan Freeman, Cillian Murphy Next episode: Ghost in the Shell (the one with ScarJo)
