Anduril is a company that makes high tech deterrents. The company got founded by Palmer Luckey, who was one of the co founders of Oculus Rift.
In Mike Judge’ much missed Silicon Valley he was the inspiration for the character Keenan Feldspar.
Of course Mr Judge can do whatever he wants with his life. I found the Silicon Valley ending to be un inspired. And actually absolutely un necessary. Many shows overstay their welcome. They squeeze out season after season until that horse it so dead it looks already like the pasture it once grazed on. Silicon Valley did not have that problem. The format is great, the subject matter was not the characters, those could have been replaced if wanted or needed. The format is the clear eyed satire of what is going on in NoCal. That deserves a show. And Mike Judge did a wonderful job with it. I would have not minded it if HBO would buy more seasons and make it something where you’d have a new show every week. Easy for me to say: I don’t have to work to create them. I just get to sit on the other side of the screen and got to enjoy it.
Up to this day: As crazy as it is, I derive some context for the Anduril dystopia based on the fictional depiction of its founder. Thats very 2020.
Note to the picture here: Forbes feels that they need to put a disclaimer on “This article is over 3 years old” on such ancient pieces. Funny. Kind of: Hey, look at latest greatest, don’t look at what mattered back them. Now. Now. Now!
