Main Ideas

  • An exploration of the nature of power and corporate ethics through the lens of a mysterious organization existing beyond time and borders, where decisions shape the fate of entire nations
  • The internal conflict between personal morality and the demands of an impersonal, all-pervasive business, where human feelings clash with cold calculation
  • A deep dive into the psychology of the modern individual caught at the crossroads between loyalty to oneself and devotion to a structure in which one dissolves
  • Reflections on the price of success and the compromises people are forced to make for power, recognition, and belonging to the elite
  • Subtle irony towards globalization, corporate culture, and the illusion of control over the world, where even the most powerful become prisoners of their own ambitions
