Recommended film: Black Mirror “Common People” (Season 7, Episode 1) is a dark satire about a “free” subscription service that a husband decided to engage for his wife who has brain tumor. The subscription streams an experimental cloud-consciousness technology that allowed his wife to live her “normal” life until several dystopian twists started appearing: tier inflation, paywalls, targeted ads, limited geographical access — reflecting the nature of many modern service providers.
