Black Mirror’s dystopian takes on technology and society have only become more relevant since 2019, and the anthology series is firmly entrenched as popular culture’s new 1984. One of the best ways to measure the impact any given movie or TV show has had upon society is to see how it has influenced the way society communicates. In that regard, it is clear that both George Orwell’s 1984 and Charlie Booker’s Black Mirror have cornered the market on using popular culture to describe disturbing real-world events.
