I watched part one of this new documentary series today. "A series of films about how humans have been colonised by the machines they have built. Although we don't realise it, the way we see everything in the world today is through the eyes of the computers."
You can watch it on iPlayer here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b011k45f/All_Watched_Over_by_Machines_of_Loving_Grace_Love_and_Power/
Ayn Rand features in the film, in fact she's all over the media at the minute.
I've also been reading quite a lot by Slavoj Zizek, the Slovenian philospher, including older articles like this 2006 one for The Guardian 'Is this digital democracy, or a new tyranny of cyberspace?': http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2006/dec/30/comment.media
In other news, there's a bit of a sneak preview of my novel-in-progress in Issue 3 of The Lampeter Review, out now: http://lampeter-review.com/
