Newitz on dotcom movie Want
In the San Francisco Bay Guardian, Annalee Newitz talks up the upcoming festival movie Want, "one of the most horrific, sad, and true depictions of the dot-com boom. . . . Want's main character, Trey, is a programmer who inhabits a surreal world of psychotic branding, marketing droids, television addicts, and transgressive, Web-based sex. Moving in grainy fast-motion from computer screen to computer screen, Trey is unable to network with anyone except in the context of business relationships. Even when he jacks off with a woman in a chat room, his eyes wander up to watch the price index in the corner of the screen."
