Some people don't seem to realize that Black Mirror is not a deep exploration of how far technology can go, but a deep exploration of how far the writers' anxiety and pessimism can go.

I'd argue the tech is never the problem - it's always "how can a bad corporation/government make this neat idea a dystopian nightmare?"

If it's built it will be used for evil. It's simple. That's why so many people insist on trying to make sure certain things aren't built.

Yeah but what if instead we didn't react like that and looked forward towards making a world where that tech is fine because no one is trying to crush others to fulfill a misapplied survival instinct.
