Quand Steve Jobs est mort, le monde a pleuré. Mais comment expliquer le chagrin de millions de personnes qui ne le connaissaient pas ? Ce film évocateur retrace le parcours de Steve Jobs, d'une petite maison de banlieue aux temples zen du Japon, en passant par le bureau du PDG de l'entreprise la plus riche du monde, et explore comment la vie et l'œuvre de Steve Jobs ont façonné notre relation avec l'ordinateur. The Man in the Machine est une réévaluation provocante et parfois surprenante de l'héritage d'une icône.

The film details the experiences of "the greatest Internet pioneer you've never heard of," Josh Harris. The dot-com millionaire founded Pseudo.com, the first Internet television network during the infamous tech boom of the late '90s. After achieving prominence amongst the Silicon Valley set, Harris became interested in controversial human experiments which tested the effects of media and technology on the development of personal identity. Ondi Timoner documented the major business-related moments of Harris's life for more than a decade, setting the tone for her documentary of the virtual world and its supposed control of human lives.

Apple, Intel, Genentech, Atari, Google, Cisco. Des succès stratosphériques avec des enjeux importants tout autour. Derrière certaines des entreprises les plus révolutionnaires du monde se cachent une poignée d'hommes qui (par le temps, la prévoyance, la capacité d'évaluer les autres et beaucoup de chance) ont vu des opportunités là où d'autres ne l'ont pas vu : ce sont les premiers investisseurs de capital-risque. Toutes étaient des entreprises de soutien et de construction avant que le terme "capital-risque" n'ait été inventé : des entreprises qui ont conduit à la naissance de la biotechnologie et à la croissance spectaculaire des microprocesseurs, des ordinateurs personnels et du web. SOMETHING VENTURED révèle les hauts et les bas de la construction de certaines des plus grandes entreprises du XXe siècle, et les drames cachés derrière certains des noms les plus célèbres dans les affaires.
