Technology is a global thing and wherever you go, people are prodding the same devices and worrying in the same way and have had their lives slightly altered in the same way.

More quotes by Charlie Brooker
I think more and more people became aware that social media was starting to feel like a more toxic space. And, I mean - quite a lot of incidents of people getting very, very angry about all kinds of things and attacking people.
Charlie Brooker
As long as we've still got crazy what if ideas, we can continue [Black Mirror]. It's outpacing reality that's probably the challenge.
Charlie Brooker
I think people are starting to look away and questioning, and they're sort of horrified.
Charlie Brooker
Hi-def is merely the latest in a string of evolutional leaps that have transformed the way we sit slumped in front of a box wishing we were dead.
Charlie Brooker
Technology isn't the villain and the people aren't often really the villain so much as they're weak.
Charlie Brooker
My continuum? Blimey! For me,Black Mirror is all part of the whole.
Charlie Brooker
I'm terrible at reading fiction. I don't have the attention span - it's awful.
Charlie Brooker
On the other hand [making a string of one-off episodes], there's a real freedom, because you're kind of reinventing the show every week.
Charlie Brooker
I could worry about pretty much anything you put in front of me, so I'm not actually sort of anti-technology. So it doesn't sort of come out of that. It's not like a fear of the future. It's a fear of everything.
Charlie Brooker
'Waldo' was one episode I always felt I didn't quite crack. And weirdly, now that feels like one of the more prescient ones.
Charlie Brooker
My kids are very young. I'm sure there's a world of horror for me to worry about as they get older.
Charlie Brooker
If technology is a drug – and it does feel like a drug – then what, precisely, are the side-effects?
Charlie Brooker
Women - why aren't you running the world yet? Frankly I'm disappointed in you. Men are still far too dominant for their own good, and consequently we've made a testosterone-sodden pig's ear of just about everything: politics, the economy, religion, the environment ... you name it, it's in a gigantic man-wrought mess.
Charlie Brooker
We take things that would have struck us as miraculous five years ago for granted. Like Pokémon Go would have been insane, and now it's just like, Oh, okay.
Charlie Brooker
You sort of perform your personality, I guess, to everyone on some level.
Charlie Brooker
While I was thinking about that, the military, I read a book called On Killing, about the obstacles people have to pulling the trigger in combat. So sometimes you just absorb all this stuff without realizing you were doing research.
Charlie Brooker
I'm somewhat socially inept. Slide me between two strangers at any light-hearted jamboree and I'll either rock awkwardly and silently on my heels, or come out with a stone-cold conversation-killer like, This room's quite rectangular, isn't it? I glide through the social whirl with all the elegance of a dog in high heels
Charlie Brooker
Your grades are not your destiny: they're just letters and numbers which rate how well you performed in one artificial arena, once.
Charlie Brooker
In Britain people might know me more for my comedy writing background, things like that.
Charlie Brooker
I am neurotic, and I'm a worrier.
