Some people don’t seem to realize that Black Mirror is not a deep exploration of how far technology can go, but a deep exploration of how far the writers’ anxiety and pessimism can go.

I’d argue the tech is never the problem - it’s always “how can a bad corporation/government make this neat idea a dystopian nightmare?”

Ah, yes, the turn-undesirables-into-monsters-o-vision. If only it were used for good!
