RE: Black Mirror Wasn't Supposed to be an Instruction Manual

in #life6 years ago

I don't watch television in any form and I am not familiar with this series.

A question - if Black Mirror is a warning then why it is allowed to exist?

Or am I missing the hidden point?

Oh it's an independent series, it's not the most entertaining so the message doesn't stick. But it's super creepy.

Most of it is futuristic, but you can relate a bit. There's an episode for example about polarization in society where people vote for people to be killed for almost nothing (saying an offensive words, accidentally puking on a flag...) So it's almost like an amplification of the current witch hunts in twitter and other social media.

It's just a collection of creepy stories with an underlying message of "watch out where the future is taking us" but exploring different aspects of society and technology.
