When people just become numbers, and we stop relating to each other as human beings. And we don't have the agency to make choices that can positively affect another human being.

I saw an episode - the second episode [of Black Mirror], Fifteen Million Merits - and I completely flipped out: This is what my nightmares are made of. This is the most terrifying thing I've ever seen.
