Very few contemporary television programs provoke spirited responses quite like the dystopian series Black Mirror. This provocative program, infamous for its myriad apocalyptic portrayals of humankind's relationship with an array of electronic and digital technologies, has proven quite adept at offering insightful commentary on a number of issues contemporary society is facing. This timely collection draws on innovative and interdisciplinary theoretical frameworks to provide unique perspectives about how confrontations with such issues should be considered and understood through the contemporary post-media condition that drives technology use.

German A. Duarte is an assistant professor of film and media studies at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano. His research interests include the history of media, film history, cognitive-cultural economy and philosophy.

Justin Michael Battin is a lecturer of communication at RMIT University in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. His research focuses on intersecting strands of Heidegger's philosophy with the everyday uses of mobile media technologies and mobile social media.
