This weekend I watched a documentary that does a very good job of explaining how technology changes social relations and shapes identity. It wasn’t however, even about technology - not in the strict sense at least. Instead, it was about acid house music. Avoiding the usual cliches about ecstasy, it looked at how the music has evolved out of the house scenes of Chicago and Detroit into a phenomenon that challenged the very fabric of British society.
