Hollywood is brewing a lineup of feature films and documentaries on Silicon Valley this season, tracking some of the most influential and controversial instances in technology and artificial intelligence (AI), just as broader unease over the sector raises. The list includes The Social Reckoning, the scripted drama that serves as a narrative follow-up to Aaron Sorkin’s 2010 Oscar-winning The Social Network. Next up is Alex Gibney’s ‘Musk’, which Elon Musk criticised for not having integrity.
