More of a film essay - of the type pioneered by Orson Welles and Chris Marker - than a standard documentary, The Net: The Unabomber, the LSD and the Internet begins with the typical format and structure of a nonfiction film, and a single subject (the life and times of mail bomber Ted Kaczynski). From that thematic springboard, The Net branches out omnidirectionally, segueing into a series of thematic riffs and variants on such marginally-related subjects as the history of cyberspace, terrorism, utopian ideals, LSD or the Central Intelligence Agency.
Oh wait. Math led us to create neuclear weapons. Not bad, rather horrendous. It seems that without math we probably could not have had the means to destroy the Earth. So should we abandon math, or abandon the Earth? And was the unabomber correct in his choice of victims? I think not.
