This morning, Black Mirror creator Charlie Brooker and Random Penguin announced that he’s editing a series of anthologies of Black Mirror novellas; I’m writing one of the three stories for the first volume, along with Claire North, and Sylvain Neuvel. I’m pretty goddamned thrilled about this.
It’s a fascinating mix whose perspectives, especially in recent novels, seem as if they would fit well in Brooker’s context of the thorny relationship between humans and technology: Doctorow pondering what it would be like to leave society behind entirely in Walkaway; North introducing us to an unforgettably forgettable woman in The Sudden Appearance of Hope; and Neuvel’s fascination with Sleeping Giants and Waking Gods.
