Jon Ronson: “Esc & Ctrl: Stories About People Trying to Control the Internet”

Posted by Maximum Fun on 27th August 2011


Author and filmmaker Jon Ronson has started a fascinating documentary series called “Escape and Control”. It’s going to explore who controls the internet and how they do so. That would be interesting enough, really, but the manner in which he is making the documentary is equally intriguing. As you can see from this trailer, he will be releasing bits and pieces of the film as he makes it.

You can look for future episodes on his You Tube page, “Esc & Ctrl: Stories about People Trying to Control the Internet”. In the video, Ronson says he will release the first hunk when he has something interesting to show; but his website says that his “first adventure will launch in early September.”

Considering the number of compelling recent new stories on the subject, it’s bound to be must-see web viewing.
