Love letter to the future

Homo Deus asks how we want to live in the future. Do we accept birth, illness and death as the natural course of our lives, or do we want to take our evolution into our own hands and help shape it?The film shows those visionaries working on our future, who have decided to take part. Their goal is nothing less than the overcoming of death - eternal life in the here and now.For a long time now, an unequal struggle has been waged over our human future between the tech billionaires from Silicon Valley and a dedicated biohacker activist scene - totally untouched by democratic or political control.Homo Deus is a journey into a future that concerns us all in its insights and observations. Because everyone suspects that the question of how and in which body we want to live in the future also determines whether we are about to abolish our present-day society and our lives.
