First-time director Seth Holt's stylish noir drama stars George Nader as a fugitive on the run from the police. Sentenced to ten years in prison for robbing an old lady of her valuable coin collection, Canadian thief Paul Gregory (Nader) is swiftly sprung from jail by his former partner-in-crime Victor Sloane (Bernard Lee). Hoping to retrieve his ill-gotten gains, his plans are derailed when a series of double-crosses forces him to go on the run. With the police hard on his tail, Gregory finds himself crossing the Welsh countryside with socialite Bridget Howard (Maggie Smith, in her debut role) in tow.
For generations, world-leading German prosthetics company Ottobock has been restoring mobility to people and developing wearable human bionics to mobilize the human body. Published on the centenary of Ottobock, this book presents the vision for the future of human mobility of Hans Georg Näder, chairman of the company and grandson of its founder. What roles will digitalization, robotics, prostheses, artificial intelligence and the imagination play in how we optimize and employ our bodies, and shape the development of humanity? With photos by Christoph Neumann, and conceived and realized by Thomas Huber, Futuring Human Mobility explores these questions and their philosophical, ethical, social, political, economic and medical implications in our changing and diverse global community. Incorporating interviews, essays, short stories and artwork by 40 international experts including David Chipperfield, Philipp Craven, EVA & ADELE, Yuval Noah Harari, Hugh Herr, Hiroshi Ishiguro, Chandran Nair, Carsten Nicolai, Neo Rauch, Wolfgang Schäuble, Kevin Warwick and Ranga Yogeshwar, the book is a fountain of inspiration and a call for us to look beyond the narrow horizon of the present to a future of dynamic possibilities. We’re standing on the threshold of a new age in which digitalization, the rapid rise of artificial intelligence and the triumphant advance of robots promise a new long wave of growth and prosperity, while simultaneously raising the fundamental question of what constitutes the essential core of human existence. - Hans Georg Näder
