#5- Agnosia

Everyone who enjoys industrial espionage watched “Inception” with Leonardo DiCaprio where he’s an industrial spy who steals secrets by means of “extraction” when his victims are asleep and dreaming.

Mental illness affects the perception of loss or deterioration in the ability to recognize or identify objects despite maintaining sensory function intact (sight, hearing, and touch).

Psychoanalysis and psychiatry are themes of a conspiracy to steal secrets from the telescopic industry for weapons in the nineteenth century.

Instead of “invading” the mind, in Agnosia the intention is to show how the mind can be “seduced”.
