I kinda like the word "wireborn". If only it wasn't attached to a concept that's equal parts stupid and sad =/

    some episodes of Black Mirror struck terror into my heart like no other. They were grim warmings for the possible future masquerading as fiction, as grim warnings often do. Though what the show could not forsee was how fast it would come true. And it could not forsee how wide a scale would be affected, those were singular stories from those worlds, the effect of the technology showcased on the lives of a few, a pinhole view into the dystopia

    if you haven't already, watch the episode Be Right Back. you better start believing in sci-fi dystopias, we're in one

    Most of Black Mirror episodes are reality right now, not just far fetched sci-fi.

    Sometimes they use technology to tell the story a bit differently, but it's almost never anything new.

    I'm just gonna keep imagining it's a clan of Timberborn beavers that are born on the ziplines.
