"The path to building super intelligence requires us to unlock the most fundamental secrets of the universe. Imagine a machine with the full range of human emotion," Caster tells a packed auditorium, in the trailer's opening moments. "It's analytical power will be greater than the collective intelligence of every person in the history of the world. Some scientists refer to this as the singularity. I call it transcendence."
A botched assassination attempt by an anti-tech group known as Rift leaves Caster dying from radiation poisoning. His wife makes the decision to upload his consciousness into a machine. The results are far more powerful and dangerous than she or anyone else could have imagined.
