Seconded - that series illustrates a number of dystopian fantasies based on rapid technological change. Forgive the tangent but I felt the "The Entire History of You" episode is particularly poignant at illustrating one of the most damage side-effects of always being connected and that is the losing the ability to forget. The ability to recall (via images, videos) at a whim can lead to being obsessed with matters that occurred in the past while living in the present. It's a problem unique to our generation since previous generations weren't able to capture, as ably as we can capture now, all the unnecessary specifics of daily life. |

Robert Downey Jr actually bought the rights to this episode to make a full movie out of it, can't wait to see how it'll turn out :-)
