Before we could even attempt to deconstruct Black Mirror, we would need to examine its idea of near future technological fiction in and of itself.
It plays as if we are expecting an epochal event to occur that will happen soon and that restructures all of human understanding into a new framework.
The idea of the future has been shortened to the concept of tomorrow, in a sense very similar to the monotonous grind, the daily grind, of the protagonists in the Black Mirror episode Fifteen Million Merits.
In short, it makes me wonder if for all, our lives have become meaningless, or if gratification has simply been delayed.
