Absurd as it may sound, humanity has always had difficulty keeping up with itself. It may trigger and route earth-shattering changes but these transformations can only be interpreted a posteriori. The Internet – with its countless branches, deviations, and pathways – stands as a perfect example. Featuring linguists and cultural studies scholars, this perspicacious documentary navigates through the history of memes proving that this tiny nugget of the Web constitutes a distinct language of its own perfectly suited to capture delicate nuances and sentiments, overpowering any other form of expression.
