I've really been enjoying watching Black Mirror on Netflix and would like to read some books on a similar theme. Can anyone recommene any?

Also The Unconsoled by Kazuo Ishiguro and Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell. The Divergent (YA) trilogy is very good too.

Yes - I've read lots of Philip K Dick, and I love J. G. Ballard too. Do you know of anyone else?

I suppose it depends which episodes you enjoy - I think they're quite varied. Have you read any Philip K Dick? I like his short stories. A lot of them play with ideas of reality, consciousness etc. Channel 4's Electric Dreams series was based on some of them.
