Zendegi
Nasim is a young computer scientist, hoping to work on the Human Connectome Project: a plan to map every neural connection in the brain. But funding for the project is cancelled, and she ends up devoting her career to Zendegi, a computerised virtual world used by millions. Then, 15 years later, the Connectome Project is revived.
