I watched this after it was last posted to hacker news. The footage from the BBC archives is excellent and the narrative it strings together is compelling. Any other books or movies that expand on similar topics?

'All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace' [1] is nicely done, even if Adam Curtis has a tendency to make links that might not really be there, he's certainly thought provoking.
Bitter Lake is another film by the same person (Adam Curtis) film I think you'd like
I think Curtis' most underrated series is The Mayfair Set. It certainly planted a seed in me regarding interest in economic history. Not to mention, "We built this city on high yield bonds".
After I posted my comment I found a huge playlist of Curtis films on Youtube, and worked my way through The Mayfair Set - very enjoyable, but I feel a bit dirty afterwards (there's a lot of shady goings on and seedy people, it feels infectious)
