Serial storytelling has the advantage of unlocking rather than simplifying the complexities of digital culture. With their worldbuilding potential, TV series open up new artistic horizons, particularly for the dystopian genre. Situated at the nexus of dystopia, complex TV, and metamodernism, Dystopia on Demand offers readers novel insights into the dynamics of serial dystopias in the contemporary streaming landscape. The book comprises in-depth analyses of four Anglo-American series, including Black Mirror, Mr. Robot, Westworld, and Kiss Me First, tracing the variety of ways in which they offer critical reflections on the human-technology entanglement.
