I thought it was a reference to Black Mirror S02E01 - Be Right Back that got a bit modernized.

Interestingly, that episode is now almost 13 years old.

And now we’re finally rushing towards this future on a turbo rocket sled.

I mean… gestures wildly at other Black Mirror episodes …yes?

And I always considered dystopian tales to be meant as a warning, not as a blueprint…

That’s the fun part about dystopian tales, they’re most frightening when they’re close enough to truth that it could be on the same timeline.

That one with Bryce Dallas Howard and the MeowMeowBeenz rip off is SO right around the corner.

No that came out like 2 years ago. There’s ZERO chance that it’s been 13 years already. Absolutely impossible!! RIGHT???!
Sure buddy. The 70’s were 20 years ago, always will be.
Black Mirror wasn’t about the future, it was about the present - the present was when it released
