Well, that's it for the grand old dystopian wonderland of 2020. Bring on the New Year! This week, the Word Docs are reflecting on the year that's been: deadlines missed and goals hit, unexpected delights and inevitable tipsiness, real estate bought, sold and fantasised about, and the fact that Amy never delivered on the promised scones. We're making plans for 2021 and even 2022: New bathrooms! Secret disco rooms! Starting our own magic writing school, where Alex will be potions master! Those bloody scones. And we introduce a new segment: Is this illegal? Amy takes the role of Alex's parent; Alex sings, undaunted; Sean promises to DJ for New Year's. Pour yourself a rum and Milo (don't ask) or a cheeky Moscato and settle in for some festive cheer from the three wise elves (is that a thing?).

Tejas and Jishnu dig into Charlie Brooker’s fifth season of Black Mirror. Has the show maintained its inquisitive look at the impact technology in the modern age has on our lives or has the premise started to lose steam?

Jishnu, Jaanam and Abbas do a spoiler filled breakdown of Black Mirror's stab at choose your own adventure storytelling in Bandersnatch. Whether you've watched just one 'play through' or worked your way through dozens of endings does Bandersnatch leave you as satisfied / terrified as all previous Black Mirror efforts or is it just a sadistic / gory little gimmick from the minds of Charlie Brooker and Netflix?

Is Black Mirror unfolding in real life? What is this social credit system? Is an Orwellian dystopia unfolding in China? In episode 31 of the Pragati Podcast, Manoj Kewalramani joins Hamsini Hariharan and Pavan Srinath to discuss how the social credit system is unfolding in China, and how it affects the way the rest of the world approaches social credit.

Fictional universes have been around for a long time, and there's many worlds beyond the MCU, Start Wars and DCEU that we love. So Tejas, Dinkar and Navin take this episode to discuss their favourite universes, the ones they'd like to live in, and the ones they might be living in right now??

Ah, Facebook - our constant companion during early morning sojourns to the loo. Our rabbithole of useless links we didn't know we wanted to read. And of course, that place which makes it convenient to stalk office colleagues and your ex. But hey, they're onto something!

Recently they held the f8 Developer Conference and there are some cool things that came out of there. Fun with Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality, more attempts at shamelessly copying Snapchat, and a couple of really interesting technologies they are working on including getting your skin to hear and brain to type (!).

Stay tuned as Chuck (@chuck_gopal), Srikeit (@Srikeit) and Naren (@shenoyn) take you through what happened along with the usual smattering of poor jokes and stuff.
