Default New Adam Curtis series

Someone on CalculatedRisk posted a link to this article in the Guardian about a new documentary series by Adam Curtis.

Should be interesting.

Thanks for the link. It sounds as if what Curtis is arguing is akin to Weber's (Economy and Society) "polar night of icy darkness" when all humanity would be trapped in an "iron cage" of socially mandated roles within an overarching, totally rationalized system. But it's difficult to tell, because I naturally haven't seen it yet and Weber is not mentioned by name in the article.

OMG, I found such an old relevant thrad!

There is a new Adam Curtis series out that I didn't know about until now, so just in case anyone else also didn't know about it, it is here:

Can't Get You Out of My Head (2021) - Part 1: Bloodshed on Wolf Mountain - YouTube

I saw "The Century of the Self" for the first time last year and it was great. What other Adam Curtis films are "must see"?

I've watched a few of them, and none were bad, but my problem is that I tend to get them mixed up sometimes. But I think I especially liked All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace and Hypernormalization.
