[Fade in] Quote
[Fade in] “It is true, we shall be monsters, cut off from all the world; but on that account we shall be more attached to one another.” - Mary Shelley, Frankenstein
Voice Over: In a world where technology brings us closer together than ever, why do we feel farther apart? In a world where we have more power and knowledge at our fingertips than ever before do we feel less in control? Is there a reason for it? Something that lies at the heart of our unspoken ennui in the post post post modern era?

"Move fast and break things. Unless you are breaking stuff, you are not moving fast enough." Mark Zuckerberg
Voice Over: There is. We all know the story. It is the story told to us by documentaries and business magazines and the players themselves. But lately, there has bend a trend to tell stories from the perspective of the villain. Well what if I told you, that almost every narrative about technology until now favored the antagonist, instead of the victim.

Screen is black
Voice Over: Insane, you say. Surely someone would speak about the heroes in a story so important as technology. Maybe. But are they telling the right story? Are they telling the story about the toxic culture itself, not a specific company or a person but an ideology of the white lab coat and clipboard harnessed by greed to enslave the hearts and minds of almost the entire world?
