What If a Movie from 2013 Predicted 2025?
Reflections on “The Congress,” Digital Identity, and the Future That’s Already Here
Welcome to Wine o’ Clock Wisdom: What If—the podcast where we pour a glass, lean back, and explore the questions that echo beneath the noise of daily life.
In this episode, we revisit the 2013 film The Congress, a cinematic vision that eerily foreshadowed today’s reality. Robin Wright stars as an actress who agrees to have her essence digitally scanned—her image, voice, and emotions turned into property. In 2013, it sounded like sci-fi. In 2025, it’s the business of AI modeling, deepfakes, and synthetic media.
What happens when you sell not just your talent—but your identity?
What’s the cost of digital immortality when your real self fades into the background?
This isn’t just a movie review.
It’s a conversation about consent, consciousness, and control in a world where our avatars may outlive our authenticity.
Pour a glass and join us as we ask the deeper question:
If you can live forever as a digital self… should you?
🍷 Stay real, stay curious, and don’t forget to ask: What if?
