Episode 8

Disruption or Sabotage

WASHINGTON, 1964: We travel to Georgetown of the early 1960s, where the Brodeys mingle with the country's elite, including the Kennedys. Brodey's fascination with computers and responsive environments begins, influenced by his psychiatric practice. LSD also makes an appearance. Discover why he abandons psychiatry for MIT and the challenges he encounters there. Could the Environmental Ecology Lab be his solution?
