💨 Abstract

In "Mountainhead," Jesse Armstrong, creator of "Succession," shifts from media moguls to tech billionaires in a new HBO satire. The film follows four wealthy men—Hugo, Randall, Jeff, and Venis—gathered at a mountain estate as global chaos erupts due to a social media deepfakes crisis. The group, driven by tech utopianism and arrogance, discusses transhumanism and geopolitics while the world suffers.
