  One of the best ones of the series if you ask me, and a true insight into the role of human grief. It's also is an eerily accurate prediction of things now (about 10 years after release) very much possible.

  There's also a great Adult Swim Infomercial satirizing this idea, "Live Forever As you Are Now with Alan Resnick"[1]. Apparently it came out the same year as that Black Mirror episode (2013) ! [I]https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xg29TuWo0Yo https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xg29TuWo0Yo

    I think Inside No. 9 also had an episode on this theme. It’s a seriously underrated show and practically unknown. It sort of occupies a middle ground between Black Mirror’s dark satire and Resnick’s absurdist realism, now that I think of it.
