It's the same problem as Charles Stross wrote about in "Don't Create the Torment Nexus": https://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/2023/11/dont-cr... Discussed on HN in 2023, with 392 comments: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38218580 The question is whether you want Black Mirror producers or SciFi authors to continue generating art and entertainment. Those have value to people with literary comprehension, but they might also be misinterpreted by people who believe them to be a roadmap. My fear is that by shifting the medium from novel to TV show, you're removing the slight filter that keeps out those with insufficient literacy to sit down with an interesting 400-page paperback and opening it to those who can press "Play". |
