	“Black Mirror”. A Non-Futuristic, Technological and Media Dystopia

	
	“Black Mirror” is TV series made by Charlie Brooker’s team, currently producing the next installments for Netflix online TV. Every episode is an individual, closed story, devoted to the different roles of digital media in contemporary society, both real and anticipated. The series’ leitmotiv are the black mirrors – the screens of different digital supplies. As “Black Mirror” is a non-futurist, technological dystopia, all episodes are being analyzed in terms of uses of the technology and media; the author aims at identification of the futurist and non-futurist elements.
