Charlie Brooker

The Black Mirror creator reflects on satire, free speech and why AI can鈥檛 replace him.

Charlie Brooker is one of the most influential satirists working today. Having started out as a cartoonist, his razor sharp writing on culture and the media made his TV columns for The Guardian, begun in 2000, essential reading for many. It wasn鈥檛 long until his acerbic and frequently absurd world view found a home on 大象传媒 Four in the form of the TV review show, Screenwipe. He's also behind acclaimed comedies like Nathan Barley. But he鈥檚 found global fame with the series Black Mirror, which has entered the lexicon for a singular form of technology-enhanced dread. In the week that the new season launches, Charlie Brooker joins The Media Show to look back at his career.
