Abstract

Very few contemporary television programs provoke spirited responses quite like the dystopian series Black Mirror.

This timely collection draws on innovative and interdisciplinary theoretical frameworks to provide unique perspectives about how confrontations with such issues should be considered and understood through the contemporary post-media condition that drives technology use.
