All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace

Season 1 Episode 2: The Use and Abuse of Vegetational Concepts

This episode investigates how machine ideas such as cybernetics and systems theory were applied to natural ecosystems, and how this relates to the false idea that there is a balance of nature. Cybernetics has been applied to human beings to attempt to build societies without central control, self organising networks built of people, based on a fantasy view of nature.
