I find these mocking "watch it burn" articles a bit shallow. There are deep reasons the wheels are falling off, but little stomach for digging deep and risking any intellectual commentary. Two accounts I do find useful remain "The Trap" and "All watched over..." by Adam Curtis, and "The Californian Ideology" by Richard Barbrook and Andy Cameron. Only when we understand why the best of motives are always vulnerable to greed and stupidity will we stop creating new monsters to scare away the old ones.
