The thing with the people standing in a group staring blankly into space is a vision of the future; the reality nowadays is that they're holding something and looking down at it, doing roughly the same thing, but at least you can see clearly they're doing something.

Haven't seen Glass in this country yet, but I can imagine it's something as disturbing as people talking on hands-free sets to phantom people.




Charlie Brooker, Black Mirror, Series one episode three, "The Entire History of You" is pretty good television sf version of this kind of thing.


Seconded, all 3 episodes of Black Mirror are excellent stories about an imminent future that I'm not sure we really want to come about (except for the art project ;-).


(Good news: they made three more episodes :) )


Awesome. Thanks for the update.


To be fair, I think many would be in support of the prime minister having to have sex with a pig on live TV episode.


There are 6 now!
