One of the most interesting movies of the year launches tomorrow. Connected: An Autoblogography about Love, Death and Technology is the work of the award-winning filmmaker Tiffany Shlain and it deals in both a personal and idealistic way with the impact of digital connectivity on all of us.

And that’s why she made Connected – to confess what connectedness means to her and what it could mean to all of us as an increasingly connected human race.
Connected is a must see movie. But before you see it, watch Shlain, a woman who has captured the ambiguity of our connected future with unusual clarity.
