Six film series I Can't Get You Out Of My Head on how the world has come to be under the death-grip of a computerized neoliberalism. Mentions Jiang Qing ( birthname Li Shumeng 李淑蒙) of the Cultural Revolution's cultural output and also the Gang of Four and why she was like she was, Afeni Shakur (mother of Tupac Shakur) and the Black Panthers, the collapse of the gold standard, the opening of China under "Tricky Dick" Nixon, etc. Mr. Barbour will like the last film because it mentions Google and how it went from being an information storehouse online to being a surveillance system for adverting 'bots. You can't get these films in the US, they are only on the BBC's iPlayer rigged for Britain, the first three films are on YouTube.
The trailer.
