Reviews
"You've been watching Black Mirror, You, The Simpsons, and The Office because they're entertaining television shows. As Steven Keslowitz's The Digital Dystopias of Black Mirror and Electric Dreams examines these shows and many other TV series and movies also provide important insights into how various technologies--from webcams and cell phones to dating apps and data security--are impacting our relationships, our jobs, our health, and our privacy, for better and, often, for frighteningly worse. So put down your iPhone and read this thoughtful book...unless, of course, that's where you're reading it."–Kimberly Potts, author of The Way We All Became The Brady Bunch.
