"HyperNormalisation" is a documentary by Adam Curtis that explores how the world got to be so complex and chaotic, examining the inability of governments and individuals to deal with that complexity. Curtis argues that since the 1970s, politicians, financiers, and technological utopians have chosen simplified narratives to maintain stability and control, which led to a more uncertain and unstable world. The documentary covers various topics, including the development of economic and political systems, the rise of the internet, and the evolution of media manipulation. By presenting a series of interconnected stories and historical events, Curtis attempts to show how perceptions of reality were managed, leading to a world where simple explanations no longer suffice for the complexities faced today.
