MindGamers Blurs The Line Between Entertainment And Science

Movies from The Lawnmower Man to The Matrix to Transcendence have sought to imagine what it might be like if we could literally interface a human mind with a computer. A new movie, MindGamers, is a thriller that will take that to another level by involving the audience to explore that very question. In MindGamers, starring Sam Neill ("Jurassic Park") and Tom Payne (The Walking Dead), a group of brilliant young students discovers the greatest scientific breakthrough of all time: a wireless neural network, connected via a quantum computer, capable of linking the minds of each and every one of us. They determine that quantum theory can be used to transfer motor-skills from one brain to another, and freely spread this technology, believing it to be a first step towards a new equality and intellectual freedom. Other parties are also interested in the technology--but for more nefarious purposes like mass-control to influence populations.
