Introduction:
When the year 2000 approached, rumblings. spread from computer engineers to the mainstream consciousness about a ubiquitous error in computer code that could cause the. world’s computerized systems to grind to a halt. This fully archival feature (no interviews, verité, etc.) documents the countdown to Y2K against the backdrop of the mass hysteria that infiltrated everything from politics to pop culture. TIME BOMB Y2K is a wild ride through the final days of the ’90s and a compelling portrait of a turning point in the. digital revolution. By examining this hingepoint between millennia, the film interrogates our ever-changing relationship to technology and each other.
