What is the Internet today? What role does it play in our lives and how will it affect our future? Film genius Werner Herzog guides us in a ten-stage exploration of the wonders of our contemporary digital world. Each stage examines one of the faces of the opulent and all- powerful reality that is the Web, discovering its most surprising aspects, including robotics and hacking, new psychological phenomena and social dynamics, risks and marvels. His complete portrait of our current situation also gives a glimpse of where we are headed: a future in which perhaps the Internet will be able to design itself, ascetics will need Wi-Fi, and robots will be able to play soccer better than we do ourselves. Selected for the 2016 Sundance Film Festival and more than 30 other festivals.
