The Twilight Zone for the Twitter Age!
But now what do we see when we look through Nostradamus's famed mirror?
I've been a Charlie Brooker fan ever since I saw "Dead Set" in 2008.
This is a scorching trio of subversive stories that are transmedia parables.

Episode one is a knockout punch about social networking public opinion dogma.
The plot is so shocking, there isn't even a trailer for the episode!

Just finished watching the three part miniseries.
Happy to say I wasn't disappointed at all.
Charlie Brooker delivered the goods again.

YouTube, Twitter, Transmedia life gaming and anti privacy tech for the Twilight Zoners.
Check out the series, it's good food for the brain.

For those who don't have E4, check out the pilot opener here:



I also enjoyed his social commentary reality TV parable wrapped in horror, "Dead Set".
Warning: Zombie Gore Ahead!



Cheers,
E.D.
