Hollywood is clueless about a lot of things. They don’t get marriage. They don’t get true love. They certainly don’t get religion.
But one thing they do get is transhumanism, the promises, the pitfalls and the peril. Bryan Singer, creator of The Usual Suspects and the X-men movies, has made a digital series on transhumanism called H+.
In H+, a company provides an implant that connects the user’s nervous system to computers and the Internet. Everything we love about technology, social media, music, sports, all accessible directly to our brain without any other device. This implant may even replace doctors. That is until someone creates a virus.
Here is the first of six episodes.
