Philosophical Reflections on Black Mirror

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.
