from the YouTube trailer description: "The story of the most ambitious project ever conceived on the Internet.

They had an even greater purpose - to create a higher form of intelligence, something that HG Wells had predicted in his 1937 essay "World Brain".

It is an official selection in the 2013 Sundance Film Festival screening in Salt Lake City, Utah on January 18. Wish I could be there. A must see!
