What a fun and unintentionally amusing television documentary -- especially the montages and soundtrack! This is the kind of dystopian editorializing over filter sweeps that made Boards of Canada want to do music.
I especially enjoyed Mr. Welles' line about "the premature arrival of the future." That's even better than the monologue at the beginning of Plan 9 from Outer Space: "We are all interested in the future, for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives. . . ."
