This documentary follows a 'Great Man' theory of history, emphasizing the individual achievements of Steve Jobs and Bill Gates. By focusing on the personal histories and professional rivalry of these two figures, the film upholds existing social hierarchies without challenging them. The narrative is set in the historical context of the early tech revolution, marked by a lack of racial and gender diversity. Therefore, the film presents a narrow view of leadership and innovation. Overall, the film celebrates capitalist success. It avoids addressing multi-layered themes or systemic critiques, choosing instead to highlight the pursuit of market dominance as the driving force of historical change.
