The first episode in the new series by Adam Curtis, All Watched Over
By Machines Of Loving Grace is now available to watch in full on
YouTube.

Starting by examining our current era of supposed economic, social and
online freedoms, Curtis manages to join the dots between Ayn Rand,
Alan Greenspan, the IMF’s involvement in East Asia, radical Islam and
Silicon Valley’s economic boom. This episode features some very
interesting and candid interviews with Rand confidants Nathaniel and
Barbara Branden, Nathaniel having had an affair with Rand that lasted
many years. Presented in the typical, excellent Adam Curtis style,
using lots of obscure stock footage and a great soundtrack, this is
essential viewing.
