Technology is a global thing and wherever you go, people are prodding the same devices and worrying in the same way and have had their lives slightly altered in the same way.

Many people find bald, unvarnished truths so disturbing, they prefer to ram their heads in the sand and start dreaming at the first sign of scientific reality.

Whenever anything nice happens in the world I always expect something appalling to happen immediately afterwards.

I'm terrible at reading fiction. I don't have the attention span - it's awful.

Most writers or performers walk around with the notion in their head that - a paranoid worry that maybe people don't like them.

My continuum? Blimey! For me,Black Mirror is all part of the whole.

I'm convinced no one actually likes clubs. It's a conspiracy. We've been told they're cool and fun; that only "saddoes" dislike them. And no one in our pathetic little pre-apocalyptic timebubble wants to be labelled "sad" - it's like being officially declared worthless by the state. So we muster a grin and go out on the town in our millions.
