Autofac

Autofac is the eighth episode of Philip K. Dick's Electric Dreams. Based on Philip K. Dick's story "Autofac," it was first broadcast in 2018.

Synopsis
''Society and the world as we know it has collapsed. A massive, automatic factory operates according to the principles of consumerism; humans consume to be happy, and in order to consume continuously, they must be denied freedom of choice and free will. When a small band of rebels decide to shut down the factory, they discover they may actually be the perfect consumers after all.''

Plot
In a world dominated by an automated corporate manufactory, a small community resists the forced consumerism which sends them unneeded goods on schedule. They see the natural world around them fading away and believe this is due to pollution caused by the mega-factory. They plan to infiltrate the factory and shut it down.
