Pretty sure it’s the other way around… black mirror episodes are usually based on things that are already being debated. Most blatent one to me was the points system in nosedive (which is basically the social credit system already being done in china).

They’re already making them. There is very little in Black Mirror that is made up from nothing. Most of them are basically extensions of ideas and technology that we already have

Many of the technologies featured in Black Mirror are based on real-world developments in areas such as artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and social media. They are created by companies and researchers who believe that these technologies have the potential to improve people’s lives in various ways, such as by making communication more efficient or by providing new forms of entertainment. However, it is also important to consider the potential negative consequences of these technologies and to think critically about how they are used.
