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.

If technology is a drug – and it does feel like a drug – then what, precisely, are the side-effects?
Charlie Brooker

In Britain people might know me more for my comedy writing background, things like that.

Man the lifeboats. The idiots are winning.
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
Image
I'm actually quite pro-technology, but I'm a worrier, so I like to envision worst-case scenarios.
