Jeremy Rifkin, the economic theorist behind the phrase, argues that a new economic system is emerging from the convergence of three infrastructures: an ultra-fast 5G communication network, a renewable energy grid, and a driverless transportation network, all wired together through the Internet of Things. The film follows his case that this convergence is not just technological but structural, replacing centralized industrial-era ownership with a distributed, shared economy where access matters more than possession. Rifkin lays out why the current model, built on finite resources, slowing productivity, and widening inequality, cannot keep running as is, and treats climate change as the deadline forcing the transition rather than a side effect of it. He frames the shift as requiring more than new hardware: a change in political will and economic ideology strong enough to rebuild how societies manage power, movement, and goods. The film stays close to Rifkin's own framework throughout, presenting his road map as both diagnosis and prescription for what comes after the current industrial system.
