Re:‘Black Mirror’ Finds Terror, and Soul, in the Machine by worldsayshi on Tuesday October 25, 2016 @08:07AM (#12787164)
So let's say we'd make a Black mirror episode about CRISPR. What could it be about? Biomachines making most of our stuff including houses? Designer babies that glow in the dark and can communicate telepathically? Both? 10 other things? Let's choose one. It's difficult enough to imagine the social impact of that. If we choose multiple such inventions in one swoop you would have to make a lot of assumptions that each would be enough content for a single episode. Then audience will no longer be able to use what they know about today's society because they don't know what assumptions the author has made.

edit: I realize I might be overselling a point that you're already agreeing on...
