The first episode talks about VR sex. In fact, this subject is very imaginative.
The story takes place in the future when the VR sex suit is very popular, because you can virtualize any virtual sex object in it, that is, sleep with anyone. The suit will also monitor your physiological indicators in real time and give multi-dimensional and different stimulation. The experience of controlling your orgasm is better than having sex with a real human being. The suit also allows people to get rid of the annoying relationship between the sexes. Everyone is in the midst of life, choose this star today (you can buy it for a fee), and choose the passerby tomorrow (just take a multi-angle video to make the system generate a realistic image), and An unexpected result is that there is no cure for AIDS, but the company that is researching new drugs has closed down, because fewer and fewer people go out to buy spring and one-night stands, the transmission route is almost cut off, and the number of new infections is approaching zero every year.
The only thing that is not happy is the government, because fewer and fewer people are giving birth, there have been calls within the government to restrict or ban the use of VR sex suits.
Well, this is the background of the story.
The male protagonist is also a person who bought a suit on his 16th birthday. Now he is a clerk of a technology company. He looks obscured during the day and is immersed in the evil little world at night. Moreover, he likes to prey in real life. Then make sex collections in the virtual world.
This day, a beautiful intern came. She quickly entered the eyes of the actor and immediately became a new target. The quiet and lovely intern during the day became a lustful stunner at night.
But this time is a little different. The actor seems to be moved a little sincerely. The intern has been reluctant to leave in her mind, and the other avatars seem to have lost their previous feelings, and even made him feel a little inexplicably guilty.
In reality, a series of events also make the hero feel something wrong. He passed the company gym and saw her soft abdomen curve. They reached out for a cup at the same time in the pantry, and their skins touched together. This seemed to be the first time he had come into contact with the actual physical body of his favorite object as an adult. The feeling of withdrawing his hand quickly after being electrocuted began to repeat in his mind, and the shy smile with a little embarrassment appeared on his face again and again.
In fact, the female interns also virtualized the male protagonist in the suit, and the two also vaguely felt the feeling of each other, but none of them had really fallen in love, and they didn't know how to go further. Moreover, romantic relationships in the real world are the first and most discussed topic in corporate gossip. Some people who choose to enter traditional relationships find that they are tired of each other soon, so they go back to the virtual world to spend their own lives. The inexplicable embarrassment, this embarrassment is the object of everyone's ridicule. The protagonist and the interns also heard these gossips, which made them even more afraid to start an actual date.
However, the government suddenly raided the company that produces VR sex suits and sealed up all the stocks on the grounds of endangering national security. Soon, people discovered that the suits in their hands could no longer be used. As soon as they opened them, slogans calling for the maintenance of traditional values and encouraging marriage and childbearing appeared. Condoms and pregnancy test sticks, which had been less popular, were soon sold out, and the hospital was full of people requesting birth control in protest.
People began to take to the streets. As employees of technology companies, male protagonists and interns were also organized on the streets by the personnel department. They saw each other in the crowd and approached each other intentionally or unintentionally. Finally, the crowds squeezed them together, flesh-to-body, snort-sniffing. In the angry voice against the forced restoration of the traditional relationship between the two sexes, the two forgot their love and secretly clasped their fingers together at the risk of the world.
The protagonist pulls the interns out of the crowd and slips into a back alley. This is a scene he also likes very much in the virtual world, and now it is about to become a reality. The two kissed together, and the ancient joyful experience was about to take off the coat of avant-garde technology, and for the first time truly appeared on the two's tactile cells.
Suddenly, an unexpected pain caused the intern to let out a cry of exclamation, and the actor was at a loss. "Slow down," the intern said. The actor groped clumsily, finally found the way forward, carefully exploring the virgin land, but found that the real experience was very different from what he imagined, and it was almost a kind of discomfort. It may be that their threshold has been raised too high by VR, and the clumsy human body has been unable to provide sufficient sensory stimulation.
The two realized this at the same time, and after the female intern said "not right" several times, they slowly stopped. Outside the alley, the crowd was clamoring to return VR sex suits to return the well-being of human beings. They separated slowly, stepped away from the wall, stood up straight, arranged their clothes, and looked out the alley together.
They couldn't continue to explore each other's bodies, nor could they walk out of the alley to rejoin the crowd. In silence, the two secretly rejoiced, and the sound of the crowd kept the air from completely freezing.
Although the second episode is an old-fashioned entry point about safe driving, at least the script is not bad, there is a sense of suspense, and the final few shots are also very eye-catching. The whole story is fascinating, not as unbearable as everyone said.
The third episode involves a bunch of concepts such as consciousness uploading, dream extraction, holographic imaging, artificial intelligence, etc., giving people the feeling of deliberately mixing together to pull out a story.
Also reimagined a story.
The heroine is a well-known singer who toured all over the world every year. For such a celebrity, you must buy enough insurance, and an important part of future life insurance is to back up your brain once a quarter. Once an accident occurs, the body is dead, and the spirit can survive.
Sure enough, there was an accident. The heroine accidentally fell off the stage during the performance, severely injured her brain and became a vegetable. The doctor said that she would never wake up again. She could barely maintain her life with a ventilator.
The hostess's aunt and manager couldn't accept the bad news. On the one hand, her niece became a living dead, and on the other hand, she lost the cash cow. She began to find a way to use the backup brain to resurrect her niece.
Legally, a death certificate is required to activate the backup brain, but the aunt cannot kill her niece. She bribed the doctor, forged the death certificate, set up an ICU at home, took the niece home, and restricted visitors Come to your home to mourn.
Then, she went to the insurance company to activate the niece's backup brain and restored her body using holographic projection. The aunt cheated the backup and said that the real she was dead, she should regroup and continue to be a female star.
But the heroine fell into depression and could no longer perform on stage, and could no longer create new works.
The aunt of the broker couldn't just watch that the road to money was cut off. She secretly found an engineer again, and planted a new code after powering off her niece, artificially manipulating her emotions and some of her memories.
The projected niece returned to her usual cute sweetheart appearance. It was hard to find a ticket for her comeback performance, and there was a loud voice on the scene. And because the holographic projection can be large or small, it can be moved instantaneously, and it can be multiple clones. The stage effect is beyond imagination, setting off a craze for topics in the entertainment industry.
But under the stage, the aunt's problem is not over. Although the emotional problem has been solved, this new niece can no longer create music like before, and the newly written music is not easy to hear.
My aunt found the gunman again, and implanted the niece’s brain directly after writing the music, and made her think that she would be inspired every time she was inexplicably cut off the power.
In fact, every time my niece recovers from a power failure, I feel confused and don’t know what happened, but my aunt only told her that the system is not stable yet and will restart intermittently. It’s fine, and my niece doesn’t. Suspicious, now she is completely a money-making tool in the hands of her aunt.
Also relying on aunt’s keen intuition and marketing talent, the new songs are even more popular than the original ones. She can also analyze the big data based on the fans’ online feedback, and create music that is more suitable for the fans’ tastes in the next album. And put them into the niece's mind one by one.
My niece’s acting career has reached its peak, and performances at home can be projected to venues all over the world. Fans can spend a little more money to buy a customized projector, and they can also watch the performance in private clubs.
My aunt sat in the control room, watching the broadcasting situation all over the world, making a lot of money.
However, the real niece woke up from a coma, and she was shocked to see another herself singing unfamiliar music on the screen.
Aunt was also shocked. Once she prayed for God to bring her niece back to life, but now the situation is completely different. The living niece is a walking evidence, which will not only bankrupt her new business, but also put her in jail.
She wanted to coax her niece to bed, and give her a tranquilizer to keep her fainting, and perhaps euthanize her later. But the niece vaguely guessed what was going on with her aunt, took the syringe and stuck it on her body.
She staggered out of the house, stopped a car and ran towards the police station.
At the same time, the projection of the niece completed her perfect performances all over the world, but the door of the broadcast room did not open. With only a virtual image, she could only wait in the empty space in the room, and finally waited for the police who came to investigate. member.
The aunt's crime made the headlines. The two virtual nieces met for the first time. Because the projected niece was just a backup and was manipulated by artificial code implants, the court ruled that she did not have the right to life and should be closed and formatted immediately. In panic crying, she was pressed the power button.
Worried that the same thing would happen to them, rich people stopped paying premiums and demanded to delete their backups. Although insurance companies issued patches, added anti-tamper firewalls and alert programs, the stock price plummeted.
A year later, the aftermath of the incident gradually subsided, and the heroine released a new album and chose to come back. However, people left unsparing comments on social media, and the media asked sarcastically why she is not as creative as a computer program now? Even the fans did not hesitate to say that they missed the female star of the holographic projection more.
For the first performance after the comeback, the not-so-spacious venue was not full. After singing a song, there were sporadic applause, and the passerby fans looked at each other and shrugged and went hand in hand.
Standing on the stage, the female star still bit her head and smiled and bowed deeply. Maybe it's time to go back and watch another live video of herself, she thought.
Anyways, I think the most impressive thing about "Black Mirror" is the helplessness that modern technology, especially new media, brings to people after they impact traditional relationships. The above two stories are also reimagined based on my own understanding. Whenever you are happy, think about your ears in a wild, for a moment.
