“Black Mirror’s” universal fan-favorite installment (and Emmy-winning episode) “San Junipero” could have been a different story if it wasn’t for “Westworld.”
In an excerpt from their new book, “Inside Black Mirror,” published as an oral history by Vulture Monday, “Black Mirror” creator Charlie Brooker and executive producer Annabel Jones — among others — discuss the making of the sci-fi anthology series’ beloved tale of Yorkie (Mackenzie Davis) and Kelly (Gugu Mbatha-Raw), two women who fall in love in the eponymous virtual town where it’s always the ’80s and everyone is dying or already dead and enjoying a digital afterlife.
