The writer of Black Mirror speaks to Sky News as the dystopian drama returns to Netflix.
Her co-star Salma Hayek wonders if it's the right way to develop tech."I feel like saying, 'Hey, I exist, I do not want to be replaced by a machine'," she admitted.
"I feel like saying, 'Hey, guys, you're so smart, can you please find a cure for cancer or a pill so that we don't get white hair or cellulite' - can we change the focus in a direction that we're not being replaced, you know, and where humanity, it still feels human."Writing a dystopian drama when the world seems somewhat dystopian anyway surely presents something of a challenge.
"There do seem to be a worrying number of previous storylines that we've had in the show that then seem to come true with worrying frequency," Brooker admitted.
