Over four series and nineteen films, Charlie Brooker and Annabel Jones take us on the Black Mirror journey. Told oral history style, they are joined by the voices of their many collaborators, including Bryce Dallas Howard, Jon Hamm, Jodie Foster, Jodie Whittaker, Mackenzie Davis, Gugu Mbatha- Raw, Alex Lawther, Letitia Wright and dozens more. Making boundary-pushing television isn’t easy. Each standalone episode is a challenging leap into the unknown for the viewer — and the creators. This is the definitive and unfiltered account of how they did it. ‘Back in 2010 the general view of technology was still a rosy one. Now it’s all gone sour. It’s all gone a bit ‘Black Mirror’, in fact, which is bad for human civilization, but good publicity for our little TV show. Every cloud, eh?’ – Charlie Brooker About the Authors Charlie Brooker (Author) Charlie Brooker is an award-winning writer, producer and broadcaster whose career has spanned television, radio, print, and online media.
