At the same time, both literature and media show the possibility of a dystopian reversal, a sort of “perversion”, of technological and scientific projects. The essay intends to consider the issue starting from the tv serie Black Mirror (in particular the first season), in dialogue with the works of Foucault and the cyborg studies of Caronia and Haraway. In this sense, the dystopian transformation of new technologies is deeply linked to techno-nihilistc capitalism (Magatti). It is therefore through the last figure assumed by late capitalism that is possible to understand the dystopian dynamic that new technologies are taking in our imaginary. https://www.ojs.unito.it/index.php/philosophykitchen/article/view/4083
