 What is it like to be world champion at a sport nobody knows about? An artist, a philosopher, a scientist, a musician, and a Buddhist explore air hockey s tangled relationship with the universe as the 2005 World Championships draw near. Discover how a forgotten arcade game is actually the culmination of 2,500 years of human thought - connected to astronomy and artificial intelligence, music and missiles, comics and country+western dancing, painting and punk rock - and meet a passionate community of players who devote their lives to the mastery of it. Open your mind. Air hockey still loves you.
