Hard Drive
When RAND invented
the internet they didn't expect a new generation of techno-subversives
and neo-luddites would try to destroy it from within. Hard Drive
is a road movie that begins with Eugene Oregon as he drives through
L.A and across the border and ends in the mountains of Chiapas, checking
out the trenches of the information war on the way.
"Brilliant images, great lines and wonderful characters instil a
seductive weirdness to the tale...An extraordinary road movie set
in the dying embers of a cyber conflagration that has left big business
government and the military establishment with the upper hand...Hard
Drive is a primer to grass root politics on the net..." (The Guardian,
August 1997)
