Lo and Behold, a film about “the connected world” by Werner Herzog

Well, holy shit…Werner Herzog has made a film called Lo and Behold about the online world and artificial intelligence.

Lo and Behold traces what Herzog describes as “one of the biggest revolutions we as humans are experiencing,” from its most elevating accomplishments to its darkest corners. Featuring original interviews with cyberspace pioneers and prophets such as Elon Musk, Bob Kahn, and world-famous hacker Kevin Mitnick, the film travels through a series of interconnected episodes that reveal the ways in which the online world has transformed how virtually everything in the real world works, from business to education, space travel to healthcare, and the very heart of how we conduct our personal relationships.

From the trailer, it looks amazing. Gotta see this asap.

Update: Here’s the official trailer for the film:

Have the monks stopped meditating? They all seem to be tweeting.

It’s coming out in theaters and iTunes/Amazon on August 19th. Can’t wait!
