Black Mirror tends to reuse a lot of tech themes across many episodes. The same theme is in the White Christmas[0] episode. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Christmas_(Black_Mirror) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Christmas_(Black_Mirror)

  The idea of the "mutability of the past" has been around since at least "1984".

I was thinking it resembled the Weeping Angels from Doctor Who. [1] Once they touch people they disappear forever, seemingly apropos. 1: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weeping_Angel https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weeping_Angel

  Nit: They are not making people disappear but they send them back in time. But I also had to immediately think of them when I saw the title.
