USS Callister (Season 4, Episode 1 of Black Mirror) released on Dec 29, 2024 dives deep into toxic workplaces, stolen identities, and the dangers of immersive gaming.
The episode follows Robert Daly, a genius programmer who feels powerless in his real life and takes revenge by creating a virtual world where he controls digital clones of his coworkers. In this alternate reality, he plays the all-powerful captain of a spaceship, making his coworkers’ digital doubles bend to his will. It’s a dark look at what happens when workplace frustrations spill over into the digital realm, where the lines between real and virtual get terrifyingly blurry.
In this rewatch, I focus on three central themes: how technology blurs the lines between work, entertainment, and our sense of self. It explores how our professional frustrations spill into virtual spaces, how escapism can be a trap, and the ways our identity can be exploited in the digital world.
