QUOTES BY Charlie Brooker


I like technology, but 'Black Mirror' is more what the consequences are, and it doesn't tend to be about technology itself: it tends to be how we use or misuse it. We've not really thought through the consequences of it.

In the age of social media, everyone's a newspaper columnist, exaggerating what they think and feel.

Nothing happens in cricket, ever. Even the highlights resemble a freeze frame.

I can't imagine voluntarily standing beside an F1 track in the rain, watching motorised wedges plastered in corporate decals zooming past at 500mph.

Technology is a tool that has allowed us to swipe around like an angry toddler.

If you're living in a dystopia, you don't necessarily want to look at another one.

Our metropolises are blighted by two problems: a lack of public transport and a lack of public loos.

Everyone's opened a drawer and been startled by the unexpected discovery of an old mobile phone that now resembles an outsized pantomime prop. To think you used to be impressed by this clunky breezeblock. You were like a caveman gawping at a yo-yo.

A cupcake is just a muffin with clown puke topping.
