"Black Mirror is a cultural phenomenon. It is a creative and sometimes shocking examination of modern society and the improbable consequences of technological progress. The episodes - typically set in an alternative present, or the near future - usually have a dark and satirical twist that provokes intense question both of the self and society at large. These kind of philosophical provocations are at the very heart of the show. Philosophical reflections on Black Mirror draws upon thinkers such as Friedrich Nietzsche, Pierre Hadot and Michel Foucault to uncover how Black Mirror acts as 'philosophical television' questioning human morality and humanity's vulnerability when faced with the inexorable advance of technology"--

"This critical examination of two dystopian television series-Black Mirror and Electric Dreams-focuses on pop culture depictions of technology and its impact on human existence. Representations of a wide range of modern and futuristic technologies are explored, from early portrayals of artificial intelligence (Rossum's Universal Robots, 1921) to digital consciousness transference as envisioned in Black Mirror's "San Junipero." These representations reflect societal anxieties about unfettered technological development and how a world infused with invasive artificial intelligence might redefine life and death, power and control. The impact of social media platforms is considered in the contexts of modern-day communication and political manipulation."

Black Mirror est une série télévisée aussi ambitieuse que populaire, consacrée aux bouleversements sociaux et interhumains engendrés par l'avenir numérique. Cet essai aborde les six premières saisons dans une perspective philosophique. La question soulevée est celle du statut de la réalité à l'ère du digital. En suivant les différents thèmes de la série, l'ouvrage se demande comment cette nouvelle conception de la réalité se répercute sur des aspects fondamentaux de l'existence humaine - par exemple en ce qui concerne le temps, l'amour et la mort. Il apparaît que la série traite de thèses philosophiques parfois complexes, établies d'abord par Kant et prolongées jusqu'à nos jours, notamment dans la phénoménologie. La réflexion livrée dans cet ouvrage jette ainsi un éclairage original sur la philosophie à partir d'une matière extra-philosophique.
