In recent years, Charlie Brooker has been responsible for creating one of my favorite shows, “Black Mirror“. Each episode is a stand-alone story with a different cast, much like “The Twilight Zone.” Every episode deals with technology in some facet, meaning many of the episodes are in the not so distant future, but a few could be considered modern. The show has been a bit of a phenomenon as it became a hit with only 3 episodes in its first season. This is because it deals with some frightening topics that could affect us within our lifetimes. This show is a thrill, and it has really made the viewers wonder, “what if?”

It’s in both audio and text, so you can read or listen.
If you haven’t seen the show, this interview does a really good job of preparing you for the world you enter, and for understanding Charlie Brooker’s writing process. You can find all the episodes on Netflix.
Someone else recommended Black Mirror to me. It does sound good.
