1 I have sinking feeling there will be another film, forming a trilogy on iconographic "tech-culture" from Sorkin.

2 It's a predictable bid for his retrospective eulogizing as a Very Serious literary chronicler of the 90 to naughts.

I say this is "predictable" not least when one remembers the neoliberal platitudes in his writing for The West Wing -- Sorkin's true and undeniable literary legacy, with all its weaknesses and strengths -- in which the show's grizzled white fathers express hard deep truths about tech inevitably destroying jobs (which were in fact outsourced and their efficiency gains plutocratically concentrated not because of "tech" forces but because of the reactionary demolition of organized labor abetted by the betrayals of corporatist Democrats) which are "never coming back" and so on. Very Serious!
3 Of course, I agree that tech-culture (sub(cult)ure) has been one of the smellier veins in the cheese that is our reactionary time.

4 I can't agree Sorkin has really gotten at much that matters most about it, especially its completely fraudulent substance.

5 His verdict that sociopathic tech-impresarios are subpar heterosexuals/Bad Dads seems pretty lame when it comes to it.
