Dystopia on Demand: Technology, Digital Culture, and the Metamodern Quest in Complex Serial Dystopias

More about the book

Exploring the intersection of dystopia and digital culture, this book introduces the concept of 'complex serial dystopias,' which allows audiences to engage with narratives from various perspectives. It analyzes four prominent TV series—Black Mirror, Mr. Robot, Westworld, and Kiss Me First—highlighting their unique worldbuilding potential and critical reflections on humanity's relationship with technology. By situating these series within a metamodern cultural context, the work provides fresh insights into the complexities of contemporary streaming narratives.
