The cult documentary maker explores the falsity of modern life in his own inimitable style. Though he’s spent the best part of four decades making television, Curtis’s signature blend of hypnotic archive footage, authoritative voiceover and a seemingly inexhaustible appetite for bizarre historical tangents is better suited to the web, a place just as resistant to the narrative handholding of broadcast TV as he is. He argues that an army of technocrats, complacent radicals and Faustian internet entrepreneurs have conspired to create an unreal world; one whose familiar and often comforting details blind us to its total inauthenticity.

Imagine Alex Jones, but sort of center-left, aired on the BBC, aimed at readers of "The Economist" That's Adam Curtis and the three documentaries of his I've seen so far are my favorite three documentaries. HyperNormalisation may be the best one so far.
