Borges and Black Mirror convenes a dialogue between one of the most influential writers of the twentieth century the philosophical fabulist Jorge Luis Borges and one of the most important writers and producers of the twenty-first century Charlie Brooker whose Black Mirror series has become a milestone in an age of post-television programming. The book s introduction provides a detailed examination of the terms of engagement of Borges and Brooker and each of the chapters explores in a sustained way the resonances and affinities between one particular story by Borges and one particular episode of Black Mirror. The result is a series of essays that locate Brooker s work with respect to a rich literary and philosophical tradition on the one hand and on the other demonstrate the relevance of Borges s work for anyone who wishes to understand one of our most emblematic cultural artifacts in the age of Netflix.
