Nosedive

NOTES

  • obsession with humans being quantified
  • an urgency that we have to be ‘desired’
  • obsequiousness nature of human beings
  • technological social animals
  • dark, satirical commentary
  • ‘apocalypse of the modern world’
  • disintegration of humanity, a sense of de-humanisation
  • festivals such as weddings which were ‘pure’ loses its ‘innocence’, it turns into something ugly and grotesque
  • A.I and its omnipresent being
  • technology vs emotion
  • technology and humans become similar in the way they behave – emotionless, mute and conform
  • no existence of love, an admonishing of a dystopian future
  • technology prevailing over humanity

Thesis – Through human quantification, as seen in Nosedive through the ‘rating system’,  there is a ‘detatchment’ or a ‘dehumanisation’ that takes place which engenders a fundamental moral change in us. Through the themes of morality, humans as ‘technological animals’ and quantification, we can see the greater idea of this ‘dehumanisation’
