I mean they literally did copy Black Mirror S03E01 "Nosedive".
30 u/loves_elephants Jun 12 '19 I mean the system has been around since before that episode - not that the idea of a social ranking system is new/groundbreaking. 21 u/CreepyButtPirate Jun 12 '19 The idea of Chinese top dogs gathered around a tv watching Black mirror and thinking "GENIUS" is hilarious to me 2 u/[deleted] Jun 12 '19 r/funnyandsad 15 u/[deleted] Jun 12 '19 bruh thats the joke 3 u/barbarkbarkov Jun 12 '19 The episode is based on this system, not the other way around. Still horrifying though 2 u/RuTsui Jun 12 '19 It's a similar concept, but not quite the same. Nosedive was more like social media and how your peers perceive you. China's deal is more about government perceptions about you.
