Kill the tech bro, save the world: how CEOs became Hollywood's new supervillains

Hollywood has a history of drawing on collective fears. The dawn of the atomic age saw a boom in world-ending disasters, James Bond battled Russians all throughout the cold war, and the post-9/11 era saw a grimly predictable rise in Arab and Muslim bad-guys. And so it follows, that in the past few years – as the likes of Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos have accrued more power, wealth and influence than most governments – the face of villainy has changed again. Since the turn of the decade, blockbusters have increasingly cast Silicon Valley's tech-bros as supervillains. And it's not hard to see why.
