Emily Herring, a writer and philosopher known for 'Herald of a Restless World,' delves into the thought-provoking themes from 'Black Mirror.' She questions whether the series still serves as speculative fiction or merely mirrors our reality. Herring discusses platform capitalism, cognitive exploitation, and the enigmatic concept of enshittification. Drawing on Henri Bergson's insights, she explores how technology impacts our autonomy, creativity, and memory, arguing that qualitative aspects of consciousness struggle to survive in a tech-driven world.
