Guardian journalist Charlie Booker is the showrunner of a series called Black Mirror on Channel 4 in Britain where each episode is centered around exploring the potential impact of technology in the near future.

There are some scripts written up for a third series and the NSA revelations would be perfect to explore in a show like that. The problem, as is the general case with this issue, that far too few people are actively engaging it. Black Mirror drew around 1.6m viewers at its highest point, but this was admittedly only in the UK and there was no hot button issue being explored.
