Black Mirror
Volume 1: A Literary Season
Cory Doctorow | Claire North | Sylvain Neuvel
Edited by Charlie Brooker
From the creator of Black Mirror comes the first book in an anthology series featuring original stories from leading fiction writers, all set in the world of the cult series.
Edited by Charlie Brooker, the creator of the hit Netflix original series Black Mirror, this book takes the very essence of the globally acclaimed cult TV show to create new, original, darkly satirical stories that tap into our collective unease about the modern world. This is Black Mirror in book form, allowed to roam through the imaginations of some of the leading names in contemporary fiction. This collection will challenge you to see the world in a different—and more disturbing—light.
You have been warned. . . .
To be published by Del Rey Books on 20th February 2018

I watched my first episode of Black Mirror the other day and I’m hooked. This is awesome, I didn’t know there was fiction based in this world, let alone stories written by some pretty big SFF names!

I’m currently rewatching it in preparation for the book – I’m sure, with the authors listed, that it’ll do more than a little justice to the show. Let’s see if the book surpasses it! 😀
