Charlie Brooker's anthology holds a dark mirror to a society intoxicated by its own devices, spinning standalone stories that push a single technology or trend to its unnerving conclusion. Each episode conjures a fresh cast, setting, and premise, from social-media ratings that dictate one's worth to memory implants and digital afterlives. The tone ranges from bleak satire to aching melancholy to outright horror, but every tale probes the same anxious question: what happens when our tools begin to reshape us. Sharp, unsettling, and eerily prophetic, it has become the defining fable of the smartphone age.
