Almost Human

Synopsis

The award winning Danish director, Jeppe Rønde has invited 10 of the world's foremost scientists - and a single robot. - to zoom out at intergalactic distance and rethink our relationship with technology and investigate in microcosmic detail its dilemmas. The world-renowned comedian, actor, writer, presenter and activist, Stephen Fry has put his iconic voice to Rønde's visionary essay, and speaks to all of mankind while the film hauntingly leads us through our own history - as well as the history of technology itself. Philosophers, anthropologists, archaeologists and physicists demonstrate in each their thought experiment that our relationship with technology is as much about our relationship with ourselves.
