In 1969, a first brief message to be transmitted over the Internet was sent from a modest computer lab at UCLA to eagerly awaiting scientists a few hundred miles away at Stanford University, launching an astonishing revolution that has woven itself into every aspect of modern life. Since that day, majestic, enigmatic, sometimes dangerous and seemingly infinite, the connected world has, almost unnoticed, redefined life for humankind. Director Werner Herzog leads viewers on a journey through a series of provocative conversations 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.
