I'm on an Adam Curtis binge at the moment. He's a very insightful fella and always seems to see the future before it arrives. The thing about the above video is that everybody knew about it, but they didn't care as they didn't have to live there.

I've never heard of her

It's a double edged sword and always has been, but it's not the fault of the technology itself.

Ayn Rand?

Try this: It is 7 years old, and it is from Jonathan Friedland, but despite those two problems it is a reasonable introduction to one of the 20th centuries most influential right wing propagandists. And a must for all Trump fans. Enjoy!
