Societal Conclusions

1. Corruption

Money inspires poor motivations for technology which are not in the best interest of science. Consider Sorian's manipulation of her past self and how Louis' pure motivations save the world from disaster. Refer to Work and Wealth for further explanation.

2. Safety

The more powerful the machine, the more need for precautions to prevent disastrous outcomes. Consider the arc accelerator meltdown caused by a single gunshot and Louis' intuition to keep his algorithm on a closed-circuit device so that it would not end up in the wrong hands. Refer to Computer Reliability for further explanation.

3. Nature

Technology gets in the way of human relationships and our relationship with the physical world. Consider Adam's VR video game and how both Adams' relationships are healed after destroying time travel technology. Refer to Film Makers' Intent for further explanation.

Final Summary

The Adam Project (2020) is an entertaining reminder that technology carries weight; through complex characters, it promotes scientific innovation as opposed to corporate infiltration; through powerful machines and deadly outcomes, it demands engineers incorporate safety and security in everything they do; and through beautiful landscapes presented alongside modernity, it suggests that we reduce time with technology to foster our relationships with the physical world and each other.
