Actually technology is supposed to be scary IRL and Black Mirror is a fictive depiction of modernity unmaking the human by dissolving society
-
Maybe superficially but it's depiction of society struck me as being close to actuality. Some of the storylines don't even involve fictional tech
-
Well we are being unmade in actuality, hence the intrinsic spookiness of tech

I think the basic premise is "We had just enough technology when I was a child. New stuff is scary and evil, let's go back."
-
What I was sort of getting at is... it's a vision of the future where sociopolitical order is seemingly maintained but the tech gets weirder, rather than full descent into chaos as in Nick Land's Meltdown for example

Tech is scary in many ways, I don't think we have alternatives to techonomic advance though, we can't pause where we are and we can't go back
