Limitless is a 2011 thriller film directed by Neil Burger and starring Bradley Cooper, Abbie Cornish, and Robert De Niro. It is based on the 2001 novel The Dark Fields by Alan Glynnwith the screenplay by Leslie Dixon. The film was released on March 18, 2011. The film focuses around the myth/idea of a new nootropic drug, NZT-48, that has the ability for humans to access 100% of the brain's power, as opposed to the normal 20%. Although these stats are yet to be scientifically proven, there are many strong myths and beliefs dating back hundreds of years that support this claim and this is what Berger focuses the novel upon.
This theme is very similar to my idea of inner thoughts and the logic that the brain can create and receive a greater mass of information in a state of sub-consciousness or solitary mind set that I connected to after my experience documenting time passing within the library.
