So, the new season of Charlie Brooker’s Black Mirror is almost here; For those of you not in the know, it’s a very, VERY dark TV series that explores the impact of technology on society through dramatic form. Going over the synopses for the first series, the future presented in this somehwat hellish universe is utterly terrifying. People under the thumb of ruling parties, corporations, their own greed and sadism; It’s not only a grim, bleak portrayal of the future, but serves to analyse the social dystopia we inhabit here and now.
