Silicon Valley corporations now dominate our daily lives to the
extent that many of us now question their ability to determine the
direction of human life in the twenty-first century. The 2010s saw
Hollywood filmmakers engaging in this very debate. Through a
sequence of films ranging from biopics of key Silicon Valley
leaders to science fiction action films and whimsical workplace
comedies, Hollywood films probed Silicon Valley's impact on our
past, present, and future. Silicon Valley Cinema analyses these
films, arguing that they seek to encourage scepticism about our
Silicon Valley overlords and have us step back from our immersion
in Silicon Valley's world. Doing so, they suggest, might make our
working lives more pleasurable, our world a better place, and might
even help us avoid a war with genetically enhanced apes or avert a
robot-led apocalypse.
