- Is it possible to replicate the human brain on a computer? To connect it to machines?
  At the start of the 21st century, science-fiction has made its way into reality. Research aimed at understanding the functioning of our biological brain is being matched by spectacular progress in the development of artificial intelligence.
  A silent war is raging inside cutting-edge laboratories embodied by two scientists: a father and his son. The father, a renowned researcher, is convinced that the brain can be replicated on artificial systems. His son, a young AI researcher, fears the consequences of such a project. Their captivating confrontations lead us into other stories around the world, that map out a future both fascinating and disturbing.
