Abstract
Has there ever a been a television show more intrinsically connected to the fears and anxieties of the decade in which it was produced than Charlie Brooker’s Black Mirror (2011–)? Across the diverse tapestry of its episodes it has both dramatised and deconstructed the shifting cultural and technological coordinates of the era like no other programme and in years to come when people want to know what we talked about and what we were afraid of in the new millennial decades, they could do a lot worse, and not much better, than begin with Black Mirror. Indeed, an exploration and interrogation of what these anxieties might tell us are the central aims of Through the Black Mirror: Deconstructing the Side Effects of the Digital Age, which charts the first four seasons of Black Mirror from its opening episode “The National Anthem” broadcast on Channel Four on 4 December 2011 to the “interactive movie” that is Bandersnatch (2018).
