Network (1976) exemplifies what I love about 70s movies - bold, creative, hilariously written, and poignant, and altho it slows down and loses its pace a bit in the third act, I would still heartily recommend this sharp drama to anyone interested.
This historical treatise has a lot of notoriety but I found it unnecessarily dense, and ultimately flawed, in that its focus on states and state power ignores a related discussion of capitalist power, such that altho there is a useful perspective to glean here about how a drive for social legibility can transform a society, I wouldn't recommend the book overall.
