This erudite volume examines the moral universe of the hit Netflix
show Black Mirror. It brings together scholars in media studies,
cultural studies, anthropology, literature, philosophy, psychology,
theatre and game studies to analyse the significance and
reverberations of Charlie Brooker's dystopian universe with our
present-day technologically mediated life world. Brooker's
ground-breaking Black Mirror anthology generates often disturbing
and sometimes amusing future imaginaries of the dark side of
ubiquitous screen life, as it unleashes the power of the uncanny.
This book takes the psychoanalytic idea of the uncanny into a moral
framework befitting Black Mirror's dystopian visions. The volume
suggests that the Black Mirror anthology doesn't just make the
viewer feel, on the surface, a strange recognition of closeness to
some of its dystopian scenarios, but also makes us realise how very
fragile, wavering, fractured, and uncertain is the human moral
compass.
