I don't personally consider this a spoiler but others might so consider yourself informed. Nosedive is about a future where your social media rating affects your real life. As an example you might not be able to enter a popular restaurant if your social media score is too low because it makes the store look bad to have low score customers. Discounts and other perks are offered to people with high scores. Say something some disagrees with and get downvoted which since your score affects your life you don't dare say something that might upset someone else. It's a very scary episode in that is certainly seems like one possible future. We already have some small part of that future today with downvoted on places like HN and Reddit that while meant to promote civility have the unintended consequence discouraging decent. It's easy to imagine social media scores affecting more real world things.
