Adam Curtis is an award-winning journalist and documentary filmmaker who employs archival footage to explore ideas ranging from the interrelationship of science, politics and power, to the influence of psychology on public relations and advertising. His work includes The Power of Nightmares, The Century of the Self and The Mayfair Set. His most recent television series - All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace - examines, in his words, ‘how the way humans see the world has been colonised by machine ideas.'
