This week's Black Mirror is, again, brilliant. Epicurus would have approved of the mirror it holds to modern corruption.
Perfectly portrayed parody, portraying the pustulating, pestilential, purgatory of perpetual, pervasive, plebvision puerility - pandering, pathetically, to perverse passions - producing pure pornography *.
A dystopian present all too real to some already. The only real objection that I have to my iPad is that it makes it more difficult to turn off the advertisements - no doubt, as 15 Million Merits so marvelously makes clear, the intention is to make them compulsory.
If the writers of Black Mirror aren't on my exact wavelength, they're certainly absolutely in phase with my prejudices.
