The main themes and discussions of this book are inspired by the imaginative storytelling and self-reflecting, wry, textual strategies and representations found in the Channel 4/Netflix global hit, Black Mirror – a key touchstone in popular culture. Moving beyond the conventional parameters of Television Studies scholarship, this book takes an interdisciplinary approach informed through depth- and Self-psychology, Science Fiction Studies, Science and Technology Studies, communitarian ethics, and the Philosophy of Technology. Greg Singh conducts a critical inquiry into those aspects of memory, identity, surveillance, simulation and gamification prevalent in the series, that shape our reality and call into question our assumed notions of personhood. This unique interdisciplinary examination of the cult series will appeal to scholars, students and fans alike in the fields of film and television studies, philosophy, depth and humanistic psychology. 10149 10149
