    Yeah, this seems to be one of CB's deep personal fears.

    I don't blame him. The ep I named in the spoiler tags was terrifying. That one really stuck with me after seeing it.

    IMO the repetition of the use of the tech either belies the creativity of past seasons/episodes or further focuses on a point that Brooker really is worried about, yeah. I've been fascinated about the copy-paste-delete dilemma of consciousness ever since Nolan's The Prestige. It basically comes from this for those who may not know: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teletr...tation_paradox
