This article offers an examination of the television series Black Mirror
(2011-) using a theoretical framework for studying post-classical narrative
complexity. Its basic proposition is that narrative fracturing and misleading
points of view are used in Black Mirror to offer a critique of the excessive
confidence in digital technology and social networks as regulators of human
subjectivity. While a mission historically attributed to science fiction is the
exploration of a particular contemporary issue by expressing it in fiction
form, Black Mirror offers an innovative twist on this objective by
incorporating the narrative complexity of the mind-game film through the
perspective of distorted subjectivities. In nearly every episode, the conflict
that arises highlights the dangers inherent to the naturalisation of
technological devices that virtually become appendages of the human body.
Most episodes explore the negative consequences of the unrestrained use of
new technologies to control memories, regulate personal relationships or
reduce all human experience to data. The absence of any debate questioning
their value results in a completely alienated society that feeds on the
fictionalisation of politics and private life, in which individuals are
incapable of distinguishing between reality and fiction, or even between
what is happening outside and inside their own minds. [-]
