I probably ought to watch Black Mirror. I like other stuff Charlie has done. Cory Doctorow came up with a currency based on reputation called Whuffie in one of his books. I guess Steemit has an element of that. We're living in the future!

I met Cory several years ago at a writers festival. I attended one of his panels and he signed a book for me. Very friendly, very down-to-earth (like most Canadians!) and an incredible speaker. He was raising issues in his talk that very few people back then were thinking about: social currency, copyright, intellectual freedom versus group think and how our society is subtly manipulated. He's truly a visionary.
Wow, nailed it - I hadn't read the book but the wiki gives a very familiar story, you really should see the episode.. Charlie must have been influenced by that book as well :)
