Greg Singh presents the first academic book to explore Charlie Brooker’s dystopian television series Black Mirror. It explores the primary themes of the series - memory, surveillance, and consumer culture - through varied philosophical and psychological lenses, including post-Jungian thought. Linking Black Mirror to classic science fiction including Blade Runner and the Terminator franchise and modern phenomena such as trolling, this unique interdisciplinary examination of the cult series will appeal to scholars, students and fans alike.
