Charlie Brooker has deftly updated The Twilight Zone’s anthology format for the modern age with the dystopian tech nightmares of Black Mirror. Whereas Rod Serling used The Twilight Zone’s sci-fi and horror allegories to reflect contemporary social and political issues like McCarthyism and the Civil Rights Movement, Brooker has used the near-future terrors of Black Mirror to explore our increasing reliance on technology, and our zombification at the mercy of our ghoulish LED screens.
