“We live in a dream world created by the machines
Where we are all connected
And we are all free
Even in love
But the machines brought with them another idea
That we are all components in systems
Nodes in a global network
We dreamed the systems could stabilise themselves
Through feedback
And create a perfect balance
In nature’s ecosystems
And in human society
And in capitalism
Without politics and the old hierarchies of power
But power hasn’t gone away
It never does.”
Adam Curtis (2011), All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace (série TV)
