7 Futuristic Dating Ideas from Black Mirror's "Hang the DJ" - The Sex Reporter

If you've ever downloaded a dating app, chances are someone has already told you that you need to see the Black Mirror episode, "Hang the DJ," which takes the idea of algorithm-driven dating to a whole other level. For the uninitiated, Black Mirror is a sci-fi series of standalone stories about mysterious, alternative worlds, that double as critiques on society, like a modern-day Twilight Zone. And if you really haven't seen any of it yet, DID YOU NOT SEE THE SPOILER ALERT ABOVE? Call it professional bias, but I loved "Hang the DJ," which was released on Netflix a few months ago. The episode was both strange and a grotesquely familiar interpretation of the direction our romantic futures are headed--as in, straight into an AI-powered supercomputer compiling data about our entire lives.
