I think overseas viewers assume that Black Mirror is written by the Unabomber, essentially - a Luddite, technology-hating, angry old man waving his fist at the App Store.

More quotes by Charlie Brooker
One of the benefits of aligning yourself with an indistinct cluster of people is that claiming to feel their pain is often enough.
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
I mean, sometimes we do do that, The National Anthem was a caustic satire and sometimes that's the way to go with the story rather than me being particularly misanthropic.
Charlie Brooker
The biggest teenage taboo is being strait-laced. It's easy to tell a researcher you went to a house party that turned into an orgy. It's less easy to say you like eating toast and watching QI.
Charlie Brooker
I saw The Twilight Zone for the first time when I was 12 or 13. I used to stay up late to watch.
Charlie Brooker
[My parents when I was a kid] would go, It's a nice hot day. Why are you inside watching the TV? And you go, Well, 'cause it's better?
Charlie Brooker
Technology isn't the villain and the people aren't often really the villain so much as they're weak.
Charlie Brooker
[One of my kids ]is not named after Aldous Huxley. I haven't even read Brave New World!
Charlie Brooker
I did once leave one of [my kid] watching something on YouTube, something completely innocuous, and I went out of the room and the algorithm kept playing the next thing and the next thing and somehow worked its way around to showing him the trailer for John Carpenter's The Thing - at which point I walked back in. He wasn't happy.
Charlie Brooker
Many people find bald, unvarnished truths so disturbing, they prefer to ram their heads in the sand and start dreaming at the first sign of scientific reality.
Charlie Brooker
I could worry that I'm going to bleed to death, you know, from cutting my finger on a sandwich packet, you know, if I sort of open a sandwich.
Charlie Brooker
Proper work usually involves performing a task you hate on behalf of people you'd gleefully club to death with a bull's knee if only it were legal to do so.
Charlie Brooker
Everyone had clearly spent far too long perfecting their appearance. I used to feel intimidated by people like this now I see them as walking insecurity beacons, slaves to the perceived judgment of others, trapped within a self- perpetuating circle of crushing status anxiety.
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 am neurotic, and I'm a worrier.
Charlie Brooker
Men Against Jive is a brilliant title! That's a military story, that's a difficult one to explain really because that's sort of a war... it's not just a war story.
Charlie Brooker
I can worry about anything.
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
In Britain people might know me more for my comedy writing background, things like that.
Charlie Brooker
I'm terrible at reading fiction. I don't have the attention span - it's awful.
Charlie Brooker
