I wasn't interested in this show until it was repeatedly compared to Twilight Zone. So they're not really alike?

I love anthologies but dislike it when technology is presented as evil.

It's not so much that technology is evil, but that humans' relationship with technology can sometimes lead to negative consequences. In some cases, it's that old adage that "be careful what you wish for, you just might get it."

For the most part, I see Black Mirror presenting technology as a tool that people occasionally use to be shitty to each other. Something that seems like a good idea at first, but due to misuse or overreliance, takes a turn for the worse.

It's a modern version of Twilight Zone, to be sure. It's set in the not too distant future where technology can augment reality/society/entertainment, and people tend to make small but understandable decisions that soon spiral out of control. Some of them end warmly, some bittersweet, most are unsettling.
