Thankfully this one hasn’t come to pass, although two years after it was broadcast Channel 4 launched Hunted, a series where members of the public are chased across the country for cash, so it kind of happened? 17. In which a prisoner had her memory wiped so that she could be hunted for sport on a gameshow. No such chips exist, though soldiers have been taught to dehumanise their enemies without technology for hundreds of years. This time soldiers were implanted with microprocessors that dehumanised their enemies. Men Against Fire – series three, episode five Another terrible idea that has yet to be implemented. This time, a mother put one in her daughter’s brain to monitor her as a child and conveniently left it there, allowing her to see through her eyes. Arkangel – series four, episode twoĪnother episode of Black Mirror, another chip. Sometimes even the awful world of big tech knows when something is a bad idea.
