Homo Digitalis Season 1 Episode 4 aired on October 18, 2017.


Will there come a point when our brain stops thinking without a computer? When we consider digital sex better than the real thing? And turn our body into a machine? We are living in the midst of an upheaval that could be more radical than anything our parents or grandparents ever experienced. But what does it all mean for us as human beings? In seven episodes the protagonist Helen Fares goes on a journey through futuristic technologies. She meets virtual friends, learns to steer a drone with her brain and to hack her own DNA. Encounters with experts in the US, Japan and Britan provide context to the posed question: Are we evolving into a new species - the Homo Digitalis? Simultaneously Homo Digitalis is a scientific experiment. In a playful test either as chatbot or as website the user can find out his or her personal future.

Would you tune your body, become a cyborg or hack your DNA to extend your life? - What sounds like science fiction is partly already a reality: the prediction of diseases, the change of human genome and organs from the 3D printer. Helen Fares is fascinated by life-prolonging possibilities - and lets herself experiment with herself.
