Seconded - that series illustrates a number of dystopian fantasies based on rapid technological change.

Forgive the tangent but I felt the "The Entire History of You" episode is particularly poignant at illustrating one of the most damage side-effects of always being connected and that is the losing the ability to forget. The ability to recall (via images, videos) at a whim can lead to being obsessed with matters that occurred in the past while living in the present. It's a problem unique to our generation since previous generations weren't able to capture, as ably as we can capture now, all the unnecessary specifics of daily life.



Yes that one was great!

Robert Downey Jr actually bought the rights to this episode to make a full movie out of it, can't wait to see how it'll turn out :-)
