Following the New Black Mirror Season thread, I think creating a chill thread for everyone to share TV shows, movies, animes and books that somewhat touch on Privacy, Security and freedom (think 1984) is a great idea. This is not intended to be about documentaries or fact-based books, but of course this doesn’t mean there can’t be serious discussion about great stories.

Personally I liked Hated in the Nation episode of Black Mirror. Great showing how social media is amplifying violence but also how pervasive its use is. Then of course, the classical tale of the costs of backdoors. Can’t really say more without spoilers

The only series that come to minds is The Hunger Games I have only read the books 10+ years ago. I never seen the movies. But they are no way close to 1984 in dystopia, if I remember correctly.

You know as an anime fan and seeing how the seasonals have grown as a whole, I want to see more sci-fi Snowden documentary style shows (or I guess like Black Mirror episode but as a theme). Or heck I would love to take on a role as a writer and/or director of such (and yes I will be consulting others from many diverse communities, whenever I’d be PG, Techlore and even GOS and Calyx).
But I understand that’s a pipe dream.
What is the seasonals ?
You can always write a book, it’s free. (If you have time/energy).
But I agree many sci-fi shows do a poor job on being plausible especially around cybersec stuff.
I didn’t think of anime Maybe Serial Experiments Lain
