A scientist, named Mike Wollowitz, works in a multidisciplinary team to build a machine which should predict major future events. These are provided as short strings of text, formulated after the machine gains access to the internet. After being turned on for the very first time, on the screen few words light up: "Dr. Wollowitz, you are a dead man". No one present knows what to say but, as a safety measure, they decide to turn the machine off for further investigations. While Dr. Wollowitz pulls the electronic lever that controls the energy consuming machine, a spark of electricity gets to his hand and shocks the doctor. He is pronounced dead 20 minutes later at the hospital.
