Omnipotent Amazon (2018)
In the Omnipotent Amazon documentary, we peer into the vast dominion of a digital titan—the e-commerce behemoth known as Amazon.
Industrialization has given way to an era where data reigns supreme. At the mountaintop of this phenomenon stands Amazon, a company that shapes our lives in ways both subtle and profound.
Consumers flock to its vast selection, fair pricing, and lightning-fast delivery. Yet, amidst the glow of success, shadows emerge.
Amazon collects reams of data on each user—a volume that could fill thousands of printed pages. From this trove, they craft personality profiles, predicting our preferences, relationship status, and even intimate details.
Their intuitive database might detect a pregnancy before the expectant mother knows it herself.
But Amazon’s influence extends beyond data. Employee wages stagnate, while the company pays minimal taxes in regions housing its headquarters and distribution centers.
Whistleblowers reveal brutal working conditions. Their sphere encompasses space travel, news media, and legislative access.
Omnipotent Amazon weaves insights from data experts and consumer advocates. Their consensus is clear: while short-term benefits abound, Amazon’s control over society could plunge us into a darker future. We tread a precarious path, balancing convenience with vigilance.
