Bringing Tech Nightmares to One of the World's Big Tech Events: Charlie Brooker Talks 'Black Mirror' and SXSW Sydney
With his first-ever SXSW experience, and first trip to Sydney as well, Charlie Brooker is hoping to go home with a head full of ideas.
Ask Brooker if he ever imagined that Black Mirror would bring him to SXSW's stage and he's emphatic that it didn't even cross his mind. "I didn't conceive that I would be talking to anyone about it other than myself, so I'm amazed and delighted."
ON DISCUSSING BLACK MIRROR AT SXSW
"It's inspired by The Twilight Zone. It surveys the tech landscape. It's famed for predicting everything from Prime Minister pig scandals to social currency systems. And it features a spectacular cast."
ON BLACK MIRROR'S IMPACT
"Anyone who's ever watched Black Mirror is always wondering what's coming next, whether the series is dropping an interactive film such as 2019's Bandersnatch or years have passed between seasons."
ON POTENTIALLY FINDING NEW IDEAS AT SXSW
"A series about technological possibilities, Black Mirror fills its frames with new gadgets and inventions — and new evolutions of today's tech as well."
