The Net: The Unabomber, LSD and the Internet (6/12)

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.

How pitiful, a narrow minded de-humanized technocratic moron!

@fencersdelight - I thought the same! dangerous idiots: he boast ignorance but didn't read the criticism of his work. Technology as a very simplistic religion.

Am I the only personal character who burst into a MEGA-ROFL when he saw THIS man playing Civilization on the PC? :P Nice game, time for the big cyberspace, web 3.0 - the internet of things. Then we can play civilization for real. ;)

We already have a machine we can't control...government! And it is technology that makes it uncontrollable.

what a knobhead, cancer cures have been available for years but curing ppl doesn't quite fit with the depopulation agenda and the massive profits from the drugs that 'treat' but don't cure it, plus all those rip off cancer charities fleecing good hearted ppl. As for Al Quada - what a mainstream mind-bombed moron he is! Anyone who's done a modicum of research knows it's Al CIA-da. Silly ignorant man; how ironic is his observation that ignorance causes fear?!
