How I See Black Mirror’s “Common People”

"Black Mirror S7E1: Common People" raises a chilling question: is this terrifying vision of the future fiction, or is it already happening? This episode truly blew my mind with how close to reality its themes felt.

In this deep dive, I explore:
Why "Common People" hits so hard, connecting directly to real-world issues like medical debt and the pressure of endless work.
My take on Charlie Brooker's "technology as a tool" philosophy, and why I believe it's more complex than that (using a provocative analogy).
The unsettling reality of feeling isolated and "divided and conquered" in modern society, as depicted in the episode.
Why Black Mirror's power lies in showing us where humanity is going with these powerful, often problematic, tools.

This isn't just another episode; it's a stark reflection of our present and a warning for our future. Join me for a raw, personal conversation about why "Common People" demands a second look.
