Black Mirror experience: When sci-fi social scores meet blockchain

British sci-fi series Black Mirror, created by Charlie Brooker, first landed on our screens in 2011. Quickly becoming a cultural touchstone for its dark, satirical take on technology, the series has earned critical acclaim and a devoted fan following.

The series, which streams on Netflix, follows various characters as they navigate a technologically advanced society where innovations have taken a sinister turn, poking fun at familiar social trends.

Each standalone episode delves into a different scenario — from surveillance gone wild to social media obsession run amok or AI with a mind of its own. It’s not exactly feel-good TV, but it’s gripping, thought-provoking and often uncomfortably close to reality. One of the show’s most iconic concepts — a cynical take on social scores and reputation systems — has inspired a real-world crypto game.

Dubbed the Black Mirror Experience, this project brings the show’s AI-driven reputation system to life, blending dystopian storytelling with blockchain technology.

The episode that sparked this crypto game is “Nosedive” from Season 3. Picture this: a pastel-colored world where everyone rates each other on a five-star scale after every interaction. Your average score isn’t just a badge of honor, but it determines your job prospects, housing options and even how people treat you.
