Abstract: The study of memory from the perspective of social sciences allows the researcher, while diving into a vast abstract and conceptual universe, to become both the laboratory and the experimenter, being part of a network of social contexts as a creator and keeper of collective memories. In four episodes of the british series Black Mirror, we find significant elements for analysis in light of the thoughts of Maurice Halbwachs (1877-1945) in an exercise of identifying the use of social frameworks of memory as tools for technological innovations and their consequences presented by the acclaimed scripts and concepts of the franchise. In futuristic scenarios not too far off, human interaction is complemented (controlled?) by artificial intelligence to the point of manipulating memory in unprecedented proportions, demonstrating, 100 years after the publication of Les Cadres Sociaux de la Mémoire, the significant contributions of concepts developed by the restless disciple of Bergson and Durkheim.
