Black Mirror is not an instruction manual, people. Quite the opposite. Can we stop trying to make every episode real?

If you don't want to do it then don't do it. Can we stop trying to tell everyone else they have to have the same values as you?

This was my first thought. How bout let’s not try to recreate the dystopian fictional TV show.

Maybe they were inspired Mulholland Drive instead.

We’re not “trying to make every episode real”. Technology’s direction and human foibles are predictable. Black Mirror writers just aren’t blind and have a good sense of what’s coming down the pipeline.

That’s why it’s called Mirror. It’s about showing us who we are.

Sorry if that’s too horrifying for you, but this goes way beyond imitating the last person to mention these problems.
