How Black Mirror & Companion Warn Us About Emotional Tech
In an era where artificial intelligence and emotional technology are inching closer to reality, shows like Black Mirror and films like Companion offer chilling warnings that hit uncomfortably close to home. These stories aren't just speculative fiction; they’re dark reflections of a world where technology doesn’t just assist our lives—it controls how we feel, think, and behave. Through gripping narratives and unsettling scenarios, Black Mirror and Companion present compelling critiques of emotional tech, subscription-based survival, and the commercialization of human emotions.

What is Bibliomancy?
In the 1500s, soothsaying, fortune telling, and the belief in horoscopes were integral parts of life for many people across Europe. This was an era marked by uncertainty, political turmoil, and religious upheaval, and as a result, people sought to understand the future and gain some control over their lives through divination. Astrologers, seers, and fortune tellers were consulted by royalty and common folk alike, often regarded as possessing the ability to peer into the future through mystical means.
