All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace

The Monkey in the Machine and the Machine in the Monkey

Directed by Adam Curtis
S1 • E3    Jun 5, 2011
This programme looked into the selfish gene theory which holds that humans are machines controlled by genes which was invented by William Hamilton. Adam Curtis also covered the source of ethnic conflict that was created by Belgian colonialism's artificial creation of a racial divide and the ensuing slaughter that occurred in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which is a source of raw material for computers and cell phones.
