La promesa de pandora
Himself
La bomba atómica, el espectro de un holocausto nuclear global y desastres como Fukushima han convertido la energía nuclear en sinónimo de las pesadillas más oscuras del mundo moderno. Pero, ¿y si todo el mundo tiene un poder nuclear equivocado? ¿Qué pasa si la gente sabe que hay reactores que son autosuficientes y totalmente controlables y que no requieren eliminación de desechos? ¿Y si la energía nuclear es la única fuente de energía que tiene la capacidad de detener el cambio climático?
The Hard Problem: The Science Behind the Fiction
Self
¿Es plausible la noción de una verdadera Matrix? Una investigación de las tecnologías que inspiran la metáfora de la Matrix.
The Net
Himself
More of a film essay - of the type pioneered by Orson Welles and Chris Marker - than a standard documentary, German filmmaker Lutz Dammbeck's 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, Dammbeck 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, the Central Intelligence Agency, and Cuckoo's Nest author Ken Kesey and his Merry Pranksters.
Hackers: Wizards of the Electronic Age
All interviews in this documentary were shot over a long weekend at a 1984 hacker conference by the Whole Earth Catalog editors Stewart Brand and Kevin Kelley in Sausalito, California. The event itself (the hacker conference) was inspired by Steven Levy's classic book "Hackers - Heroes of the Computer Revolution"
