I'm reminded of an excellent series of short pseudo-documentaries that explained life on Earth for aliens, and in that narrative they were trying to discover if there was intelligent life on Earth. The conclusion was that the dominant life form was Corporations, and individual humans were more like ants or worker bees. Then they decided the corps must be intelligent because they were terraforming Earth to make it warmer.
