Black Mirror is now a delightful escape from reality

Minor spoilers for Black Mirror season 7 ahead.

The latest season of Black Mirror feels almost therapeutic as we peer over the cliff of civilizational collapse. Everything is awful, but at least we don't have to worry about renting out access to our brains from skeevy startups, or dealing with the consequences of a PC game's super-intelligent AI.
