Et qu’un homme désespéré décide de conduire un vieux bibliobus pour fournir des lectures aux morts. Lorsqu’une adolescente désœuvrée raconte en direct ses vacances en famille sur Twitter. Quand un frère et une sœur s’aventurent dans un champ pour venir au secours d’un enfant. Et que les passagers d’un avion assistent en direct au déclenchement de la Troisième Guerre mondiale...
