Sinopsis
NetScout, líder mundial en ciberseguridad y servicios de protección en tiempo real, se subió a bordo como productor e introdujo en un nuevo mundo a Werner Herzog, que llevó a cabo una serie de originales entrevistas con pioneros y profetas del ciberespacio como Elon Musk (cofundador de PayPal y Tesla), Bob Kahn (inventor de la IP o protocolo de internet) o el afamado pirata informático Kevin Mitnick. Estas provocadoras conversaciones revelan la forma en que el mundo digital ha transformado la manera en que funciona prácticamente todo en el mundo real, desde los negocios a la educación, los viajes espaciales, la asistencia médica o el cómo gestionamos nuestras relaciones personales. El "lo" del título original hace referencia al primer mensaje enviado por el ciberespacio, entre ordenadores de la Universidad de UCLA y la de Stanford, el 29 de octubre de 1969.
