- ashark 9y agoA lot of it's an observation of where we already are, not a warning about what's coming. [EDIT] in fact I'd class a solid 4 of the first 6 episodes as mostly about general human nature, or about where the interaction of technology/society is currently at. The new season's (well, also the Christmas special) kind of a departure in that it's latched more firmly onto the warnings about the future and Twilight Zone-ish aspects of the series, which had previously been more subdued. Be Right Back and The Entire History of You are the ones from the first 6 that I'd class as mostly about what future technology might do to us, though I'd be open to arguments against that classification for Entire History, certainly—I'd have to re-watch it to be sure, but my recollection of it is that it's only marginally in that category.
