All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace
This episode discusses the first part of Adam Curtis's documentary series All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace. It focuses on the outsized influence of Ayn Rand on late twentieth-century thought, and the belief that computers and markets could create a stable, self-correcting world. In classic Curtis style, it links ideology, technology and power in unexpected ways. For fans of big ideas and cultural history, it is a provocative watch. Free to watch in HD on Dr Documentary.
