I took a course in university on sci-fi and the professor said that all science fiction was a reflection of the moment it was written, and had almost nothing to do with prognosticating.

Ursula K LeGuin’s introduction to The Left Hand of Darkness, 1976 https://www.penguin.com/ajax/books/excerpt/9780441007318

“The weather bureau will tell you what next Tuesday will be like, and the Rand Corporation will tell you what the twenty-first century will be like. I don’t recommend that you turn to the writers of fiction for such information. It’s none of their business. All they’re trying to do is tell you what they’re like, and what you’re like—what’s going on—what the weather is now, today, this moment, the rain, the sunlight, look! Open your eyes; listen, listen. That is what the novelists say. But they don’t tell you what you will see and hear. All they can tell you is what they have seen and heard, in their time in this world, a third of it spent in sleep and dreaming, another third of it spent in telling lies.”

This is partially why many people prefer the term "speculative fiction" over "science fiction"

As soon as good AR glasses come out though, Black Mirror's an instruction manual on what app to write.

1984 was just an anagram of 1948, the year Orwell was writing in.

It seems safe to extend this comment to all episodes of every TV show.

While that may be generally true I'm inclined to think that Black Mirror brought the perspective into sharp relief.
