It’s been I long time since I saw the original (Epic 2014) of which this is an update ofย a movie made by Robin Sloan for the Museum of Media History
Set in 2014 it charts the history of the Internet, the evolving mediascape and the way news and newspapers were affected by the growth in online news.
It coined the word “Googlezon” from a future merger of Google and Amazon to form the Google grid, and speaks of news wars with the Times becoming a print only paper for the elite culminating in EPIC Evolving Personalised Information Construct.
I know its a bit behind with some of its timings (it was filmed in 2006 ) but interesting nonetheless.
Hat Tip for the memory:ย Ilkka Kauppinen
