Gadgets That Go Wrong

Black Mirror is an anthology series created by Charlie Brooker. It began on Channel 4 in the UK in 2011 and moved to Netflix from its third season. Each episode imagines a near-future technology and asks what it might do to people.

In The Entire History of You, a grain implant records memories that can be replayed. Nosedive shows a world where everyone rates each other out of five, while White Christmas features cookies, digital copies of a person's mind forced to work as assistants. Be Right Back recreates a dead partner as an AI built from his data.

San Junipero, set in a simulated afterlife town, won Emmy awards. Hated in the Nation imagines robotic bees replacing dying ones, and Arkangel follows an implant that lets a mother watch and filter her child's view. Bandersnatch, released in 2018, let viewers choose the story's path.
