This new featurette for Transcendence, the upcoming science-fiction movie starring a ghoulish Johnny Depp, tries to explain what transcendence is:

Transcendence – What is transcendence?Plot:
“Computer scientist Evelyn Caster (Rebecca Hall) uploads her husband Will (Johnny Depp)’s brain into a computer after he is assassinated by terrorists.
But Will’s thirst for knowledge then evolves into a seemingly omnipresent quest for power, to what end is unknown…
The only thing that is becoming terrifyingly clear is there may be no way to stop him!”

So basically, transcendence is the uploading of a human brain to a super computer. Well, rather than dying, am all for uploading my brain into a computer! What about you? Would you upload your brain? Or are you a Luddite against the concept of digital after-life?

In theaters: April 17, 2014.
