By Jennifer Miller and Gabriel Rhodes
the clock counted down to the 21st century, the world faced a potential technological disaster: a bug that could cause computers to misinterpret the year 2000 as 1900. Crafted entirely from archival footage and featuring first-hand accounts from computer experts, survivalists, scholars, militia groups, conservative Christians and pop icons, Time Bomb Y2K is a prescient and often humorous tale about the power and vulnerabilities of technology.
