Absolutely amazing series. The conclusion is mind-bogglingly relevant to 2016, despite being delivered almost 40 years ago, in a room of "the world's most powerful computers", all vastly less powerful than what we carry in our pockets today.
I was already radicalised* by the time I saw the series only 10 or so years ago, but the last episode had me on my feet, pointing at the television, shouting, "He warned us! He warned us!"

- digi_owl 11y agoHis episode on the corporate office sadly had it ass backwards though. Rather than computers making managers simply executors of the computed plan, they, via robotics, replaced much the workforce instead. BTW, the ending of the last episode was shot in one take. At the very last moment he was finding himself standing with one foot in an anthill no less. Now thats dedication to ones craft.
