Özet: From the Renaissance onwards, the reality has become functional in our contemporary life. Socialisation created through screens has created a huge simulation universe. This indicator shows that The Black Mirror series, which describes the recurring publishing of the production universe, is very important in the context of individual-virtual reality-communication. When analyzing the `Black Mirror` series used as the sample of the series, Jean Baudrillard's simulation theory was taken as the conceptual framework of the study. In the study, the 3rd part of the 1st season, the 1st part of the 2nd season and the 1st part of the 3rd season were taken as samples. The reason for choosing these three sections is that they concretize the simulation concept and display it on the screen. The invisible face of the digital age was identified in the study, which was examined by semiotic analysis. The dystopia of the future The Black Mirror sample has been examined within the framework of simulation theory and it is seen that the modern world has developed a huge simulation universe. The development of technology will also reveal a human collapse; because the dystopic future mentioned in the series is not far away.
