Film: All watched over by machines of loving grace

* The whole world consists of systems
* We live in networks of feedback loops
"I will make my life an experiment"

Communes:
'Synergy commune'
ecotechnics
YOU are part of the SYSTEM
'where mammals and computers live together in cyber harmoney'
* Group sense
* Fully connected to each other
* Moments of feedback
* To be fully yourself in the commune
* They all failed -> power turned them apart
* Stronger personalities seemed to dominate the lower personalities in the group
"some are more free than others"
* Constantly a background of fear
