Black Mirror S7 Ep 1 Recap & The Future of Healthcare

Welcome to the first-ever Monday Science Live! In this lively and unfiltered episode, Dr. Bahijja Raimi-Abraham kicks off a new interactive series exploring the real-world science, technology, and ethical questions behind Black Mirror Season 7.

This week, we dive into Episode 1 – "Common People", a powerful commentary on healthcare, corporate greed, and consciousness.

From chaotic lighting mishaps to deep reflections on subscription-based medicine, Dr Bahijja explores the disturbing implications of Rivermind—a fictional tech company offering life-saving brain implants... for a fee.

Topics include:

  • 🧠 Brain-computer interfaces and mind uploading

  • 🧾 Subscription-based healthcare models

  • 📺 Neuromarketing and ads delivered directly to the brain

  • 🧍‍♀️ What happens when human dignity is commodified

With personal anecdotes, tech news updates, and a healthy dose of laughter, this episode blends sci-fi with real-life science in true Monday Science style.

🔊 Join the conversation: Would you pay a monthly subscription to keep a loved one alive? Where should we draw the line between innovation and exploitation?
