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?”

I’m worried that rich people watch black mirror and think: hey, that’s a good idea.

Finally, we have built the Torment Nexus, from the beloved book Do Not Build The Torment Nexus.

A giant death ray? A military application?
