== Transhumanist content - Film ==

Eddie Morra, a struggling author suffering from writer's block, is stressed by an approaching deadline. His girlfriend, frustrated with his lack of progress and financial dependence, breaks up with him. Later, Eddie happens to run into a sample of a new "smart drug", NZT-48. After taking the pill, Eddie finds himself able to learn and analyse at a superhuman rate and recall memories from his distant past. Under the influence of NZT-48, he cleans his messy apartment and writes ninety pages of his book. Later, testing his analytical skills on the stock market, Eddie quickly makes large returns on small investments. Realizing he requires more capital, he borrows one hundred thousand dollars from a Russian loan shark and successfully makes a return of two million dollars. At this point the character basically begins to win reputation and lots of money.

All his progress begins to break into pieces when Eddie starts experiencing hallucinations and the sense of time skipping forward, noticing that several hours have suddenly passed of which he has no memory. He later discovers that after stopping dosing this drug, people begin to die.

Later in the film, by using his enhanced intelligence, Eddie discovers means to improve NZT-48 to avoid its side-effects.
