One of my favourite films also. Full of great, original ideas.

In 2006 I watched the movie Waking Life and saw Eamonn Healy talking about the telescopic nature of evolution: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJHXDfVFlZs I was excited and looked up "neohumans" (which he mentions), which led me to transhumanism and then the technological singularity. I have been hooked on the idea ever since.
