what is the meaning of black mirror episode 2
Fifteen Million Merits The episode is a satire on entertainment shows and insatiable thirst for distraction set in a satirical future dystopia. In this world, everyone must cycle on exercise bikes in order to power their surroundings and generate currency called Merits. Everyday activities are constantly interrupted by advertisements that cannot be skipped or ignored without financial penalty. Obese people are considered to be second-class citizens, and either work as cleaners around the machines (where they are verbally abused, especially from a fellow cyclist named Dustin) or are humiliated on game shows.
