It's not actually that great. I just remember the part where they're designing a block of flats, and the architect says, "...this is a twelve-storey block combining classical neo-Georgian features with all the advantages of modern design. Uhh, the tenants arrive in the entrance hall here, are carried along the corridor on a conveyor belt in extreme comfort and past murals depicting Mediterranean scenes, towards the rotating knives."

He then explains that "I hadn't, uh, correctly divined your attitude towards your tenants."

Just because nothing can be made perfectly safe doesn't make the rotating knives ok.

(That said? Safety regs for factories are some kind of communist plot or something.)
