Blindsight is a hard science fiction novel that (quoting Wikipedia [0]) "...explores questions of identity, consciousness, free will, artificial intelligence, neurology, game theory as well as evolution and biology." It's a hell of a good book.
This short film feels like a teaser for what a real movie of the book might be like, but it's quite well done.
