Lo and Behold, Reveries of the Connected World

Werner Herzog, one of the greatest documentarians of our age, explores the internet and the connected world. The film's 10 chapters examine with wonder, but not without pessimism, the development of the internet and its effect on the minds of individuals and on society as a whole. Herzog approaches a wide range of topics: the pioneers of the internet, the scientists that research its future, internet addiction, hackers and much more. All of these diverse aspects are brought together to advance Herzog's long-term cinematic study of human (or in this case, post-human) nature. Herzog's characteristic style and skepticism offer an amusing, fun and thought-provoking viewing experience.
