Holy Sheet! A SCRIPTED Twilight Zone? (Black Mirror)

[MJ DeMarco]

From Black Mirror, Episode 2...

Got caught watching this the other night and I found it to have many poignant SCRIPTED messages... about freedom, about being a drone, about our dependency on a system and the screens that run the system.

Is this a fair representation of the SCRIPT in the future?

Is our 9-5 cubicle mundanity any different than the bike?

Entire Episode is here: (Worth watching, it's kinda creepy)

When the main character finally has enough (but still cannot escape.)

The entire episode is RIFE with SCRIPTED metaphors and parallels about real life...

Here's an analysis of the episode itself...
