The dark, dystopian world of the "black mirror" Causes a feeling of fascination for a reason. Speculative fiction has always had an understanding of our imaginations, as these stories allow us to oppose a probable, unpleasant future from a safe distance. While some of these stories may feel a little strange about objective reality, the attractiveness lies in the luxury to use these realities and measure them through the human spectrum. As the "black mirror" roots such trops in worlds that are very close to ours, the anxiety feels tangible. While these bite -sized stories may have lost their advantage over time, they are still forcing and intimidating, encouraging us to engage with complex puzzles.

Charlie Brooker's "Black Mirror" recently announced its seventh season, so it's no surprise that such a long-standing franchise has plans to make spin-off books based on her premise. In 2017, a series of three books was released by acting as an editor, where the goal was to offer new, intriguing stories that were similar in tone with the episodes in the Netflix series. The plans to adopt these literary worlds were nothing less than ambitious, as the pages allegedly included some ink code that would help maintain vibrant, unforgettable images. As it may sound, Brooker seemed enthusiastic about this project, stating that these stories have some "incredibly different tones and appearance" with a dash of "unpleasant things" that happen without failure (through digital spy).

These books were to be in collaboration with Penguin Pandom House and Ebury Publishing, with the first expected to publish them in early 2018. Unfortunately, this project should have been canceled due to inevitable factors. Let's look at the reasons for this giving up and whether we have other spin-off-off-off "black mirrors" to expect.

Unfortunately, the unnamed trilogy of the books has been postponed indefinitely, as Brooker and executive producer Annabel Onesons were unable to give the project the time it was looking for. The collision with existing schedules can create this problem, which maintained snowballs until the three books plan is excluded. Brooker said Digital spy That he and the Onesons inadvertently "mixed" the project in question:

"It was a little tricky. She (a series of three books) ended up asking for a little more involvement than me and Annabel had the time for-so we were a little mixed there! (...) I'm not sure when or whether that (Romanian series). Probably not."

Brooker also played with the term someone else to take over the Romanian series, but in the end it would be "frustrating for someone else to step in it" as "how The world of "Black Mirror" is "more idiosyncratic" than you would understand. This makes sense, because Brooker and Onesons are intimately aware of what stories fit into the show's tone and are the best people who discover the same in literary format. Unfortunately, the project is dead, at least for the near future.

But don't fret, broker and co. He worked hard on the oral history of the show, entitled "Inside the Black Mirror", which functions as an official companion of the television series, which has interviews, parts of the scenes and much more. Since the Netflix show is still burning new seasons, the book contains exclusive comments about the first 19 episodes, where we will look at the fascinating dirt of these different micro-world. Brooke explained that this oral history has taken a more conversational approach to the dense, dynamic theme of the series:

"It's almost conversational. It is based on many interviews that (co -author) Jason (Arnop) did with him, both Annabel and many people involved in the show, which meant that there was room for disagreement, and space for people to remember things differently (...).

Brooker was also joking that the book was large enough and heavy enough to "stunned a burglar", so it's certainly an aspect worth considering. Jokes aside, "inside the black mirror" is more than just a collecting subject, because its serious exploration of every shade of speculative fiction is well worth your time.
