Netflix released a trailer for Anon, the latest film from Andrew Niccol, and it looks like Niccol, who wrote The Truman Show and wrote and directed Gattaca, is still a little skeptical of surveillance states. That’s despite decades of evidence since Gattaca’s 1997 release that the profit motive alone is sufficient to ensure companies like Facebook will fiercely protect their users’ privacy, to say nothing of our government. But Niccol continues to assume the worst about our benevolent panopticon, and in Anon, Clive Owen discovers the dark side of not reading the user agreement.
