Just like the past series, technology is one of the main focuses and Brooker appears to be encouraging conversation around social media and the impact of modern-day technology and where it could be headed.

Cyrus will play a performer with thousands of fans, and from the trailer it seems like she has undergone a transformation of some sorts in order to increase her level of fame.
