    here's a documentary featuring Adrian prominently. This is the best you'll see Adrian, because some time after this film he went on (or off?) his meds, betrayed Chelsea Manning and various other things shitty humans do.

    Definitely check out the documentary Hackers Wanted [1], which follows Adrian. I found it interesting how he was able to break into some of the "high-profile computer networks".

    >Running out of oil, which will in turn start a whole host of problems.

    It starts getting scary when oil production vs demand becomes disproportionate. Aka, peak oil.

    >Someone hacking the pentagon or whatever, and detonating all the nukes at the same time.

    I recently watched Hackers Wanted and one of the interesting things the movie pointed out was that when terrorists start becoming hacker savvy, a new war front will be introduced into the world.
