Episode 1 - Nosedive
Imagine if Yelp rated people instead of places. Every interaction is rated on a scale of 1 to 5. If you get caught up in that, you try to make every public interaction as pleasant as possible so you receive a high rating. If you don't care how you're rated, you have a low score and can be refused housing, jobs, and basic staples. You become a pariah.
Episode 2 - Playtest
Video games take the next step from virtual reality and augmented reality to indistinguishable from real life. An implant in the base of the neck accesses your brain directly to modify what you see and hear.
