Nosedive is the first episode of season 3 of black mirror. It is a science fiction chapter that makes a social critique of social networks and the impact they create in our lives. The main character is a girl called Lacie Pound.
Lacie is a redhead girl with blue eyes. Lacie is involved in an alternative world where each person has an electronic score. That score goes up and down depending on your relationship with people and their assessment. If you are an edge on people, you will have less punctuation. If you are kind and friendly, you will have more score. If you have more score, you will have more popularity, luxuries and benefits.
Lacie's concern is to try to fit into this society. She tries to do good things for others and cares a lot about what others think of her. This makes her an unbearable person and evidently, her reputation goes down.
I recommend this chapter to raise awareness of our abuse of social networks and our concern to be popular. The chapter exaggerates these aspects, and makes you think.
