We have been colonised by the machines we have built. Although we don't realise it, the way we see everything in the world today is through the eyes of the computers.

We live in a world where the powerful deceive us. We know they lie. They know we know they lie. They do not care. We say we care, but we do nothing, and nothing ever changes. It is normal. Welcome to the post-truth world. How we got to where we are now…

In six films, Adam Curtis traces the different forces across the world that have led to now. It covers a wide range—including the strange roots of modern conspiracy theories, the history of China, opium and opioids, the history of Artificial Intelligence, melancholy over the loss of empire and, love and power. And explores whether modern culture, despite its radicalism, is really just part of the new system of power.

本系列探讨弗洛伊德精神分析学说对20世纪的巨大影响。
美国特纳出版公司最近出版的《20世纪人类全纪录》，把1900年西格蒙特·弗洛伊德《梦的释义》的出版作为20世纪的开端。这决不是别出心裁，而是把精神分析理论的问世当作一个划时代的标志，从此人类对自身的探索进入了一个新阶段，所以有些西方学者把20世纪称之为"精神分析的世纪".《梦的释义》出版100年来，人们对精神分析学说毁誉参半，研究弗洛伊德的着作就达几千部，特别是许多思想大师都对弗洛伊德做出了评价，这就使人们常常戴着大师们的眼镜去看待弗洛伊德，由此产生了一些"错误认同".正如当代意大利哲学家恩贝托·埃柯（UmbereoEco）所说，马可波罗在爪哇把犀牛认作独角兽，这种错误认同产生的原因在于"他正是他的"背景书籍"的牺牲品。"①经过100年的洗礼，弗洛伊德的思想价值不但没有减弱反而增强了。因此要摆脱以往人们对弗洛伊德的错误认同，强调个人对弗洛伊德原着的特殊理解，并把这种理解与当代学术界的研究成果结合起来是十分必要的。首先，弗洛伊德不仅是一个精神病专家，更重要的是，他作为一个人文科学思想家在历史上留下了宝贵的精神财富。
弗洛伊德从人类心理冲突的角度去关照潜意识的产生与作用。因此，他的发现不仅意味着医学的进步，还打破了人类思想与生活中的许多假象，扩展了人类对精神生活的感知，并以不能再视而不见的事实描述出潜意识这种复杂而真实的人文现象。他对梦的层层揭示触及了人类精神世界最难以接近的部分。他对导致人的梦境的潜意识的分析引导着人类更透彻地了解了自己——20世纪达利的绘画、劳伦斯的小说、希区柯克的电影、马勒的音乐，弗洛伊德对生命潜意识的透视在几乎所有人文领域里都留下了深刻的印记。
当弗洛伊德80岁诞辰来临之际，全世界200多位科学艺术家致信祝贺，他们说：“如果世间有什么行动可以被永远铭记的话，那就是对人类心灵的洞察。”
弗洛伊德，“有史以来第一位正视人类心灵问题的人”。

The legacy of famed psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud informs the lives of people throughout the world even to this day, though it's a phenomenon to which most are unaware.

This series investigated the way that history and memory have been used by politicians and others.

Individual freedom is the dream of our age. It's what our leaders promise to give us, it defines how we think of ourselves and, repeatedly, we have gone to war to impose freedom around the world. But if you step back and look at what freedom actually means for us today, it's a strange and limited kind of freedom.
