LOS ANGELES - Californer -- In "The Hard Problem," by acclaimed Tony Award-winning playwright Tom Stoppard, Hilary believes fervently that consciousness is more than the sum of our biology. When she receives a position at a prestigious think tank, she develops a novel experiment to prove that humans are intrinsically altruistic, but the results are something she never anticipated.. L.A.
