Description

"Adam Curtis directs this 3-part series about how humans have been colonised by the machines we have built.

The series begins by unraveling the surprising influence of Ayn Rand's objectivist philosophy on Silicon Valley titans and economic powerbrokers like Alan Greenspan. Curtis reveals how this ideology of selfishness and individualism fueled the rise of neoliberalism, setting the stage for global economic upheavals.

A mechanistic view of human nature, Curtis suggests in the end, may be limiting our capacity for genuine social change."
