Charlie Brooker and Annabel Jones created Black Mirror in 2011 as a sci-fi exploration of the convergence between humanity and technology. Each episode of this highly addictive anthology series explores a twisted, hi-tech near future where humanity’s greatest innovations and darkest instincts collide.
The show became an international hit, and a move to Netflix brought it to a wider audience. Three critically acclaimed series followed, the latest airing in 2017. Stephen King has described it as “terrifying, funny, intelligent. It’s like The Twilight Zone, only rated R.” It has attracted acting and directorial talent from around the globe, including Jodie Foster, Jon Hamm, Bryce Dallas Howard and Joe Wright.
Brooker’s new book, Inside Black Mirror, co-written with showrunner Jones and novelist Jason Arnopp, is the first official companion book to the programme, and offers an illustrated oral history and exclusive insight into its creation.
The stream will start at 7pm and run until 8.30pm on Thursday 1 November.
