HyperNormalisation is a 2016 BBC documentary by British filmmaker Adam Curtis. It argues that following the global economic crises of the 1970s, governments, financiers and technological utopians gave up on trying to shape the complex "real world" and instead established a simpler "fake world" for the benefit of multi-national corporations that is kept stable by neoliberal governments.

This is an incredibly evocative, stylish presentation with an extremely flimsy premise that contains very little actual evidence to support it.

    This is a good documentary

    I'm also partial to Curtis's mini series "All watched over by machines of loving grace" it's only 3 episodes, it's really good
