More quotes by 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
I would say the thing you can still see in Black Mirror is that I was probably traumatized by the specter of nuclear war. I was born in 1971, and in the '80s I came to understand that I was inevitably going to be frazzled to death in the nuclear apocalypse.
Charlie Brooker
My theory is that we used to have several personalities, and now we're encouraged to have one online.
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
I'm actually quite pro-technology, but I'm a worrier, so I like to envision worst-case scenarios.
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
It's a barrel of laughs, isn't it? It makes The Day After look like friggin'...insert name of cheerful thing here. It was one of the things that made me really worry about worst-case scenarios. There's something impish and probably somewhat therapeutic about thinking about those things.
Charlie Brooker
That's not something that we've gone in thinking 'Right! How are we going to examine that now?' It's just when you take a step back you see that they're actually all sort of in that mode.
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
Online you're encouraged to perform one personality for everyone.
Charlie Brooker
Obviously, you try not to repeat yourself so that forces you to re-evaluate what you're doing constantly [in Black Mirror].
Charlie Brooker
[One of my kids ]is not named after Aldous Huxley. I haven't even read Brave New World!
Charlie Brooker
I am neurotic, and I'm a worrier.
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
At the other end of the spectrum, George Gideon Oliver King Rameses Osborne, the fourteen-year-old novelty Chancellor and future baronet of Ballentaylor and Ballylemon - a man so posh he probably weeps champagne.
Charlie Brooker
I can worry about anything.
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
Technology isn't the villain and the people aren't often really the villain so much as they're weak.
Charlie Brooker
I wasn't really aware they were a religious organization for quite some time. But my grandparents were very devout and ran a Quaker meetinghouse and were missionaries at one point.
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.
