Have you seen Episode one of the seventh series of Black Mirror?

* spoiler ahead *

A dystopian piece about an implant that's essential to survival but becomes obsolete over time. The company provides a - costly - upgrade which is not affordable to the couple who need it.

Luckily it's just fiction. Right? IT IS FICTION, ISN'T IT???

Well...
