Biography
Charlie Brooker is an English screenwriter, producer, and social critic born on 3 March 1971. He built his reputation through satirical television that dismantled media and modern society: Screenwipe, Gameswipe, Newswipe, and Weekly Wipe all used sharp wit and visual gimmickry to expose the absurd. His writing credits span comedy—Brass Eye, The 11 O'Clock Show, Nathan Barley—and the horror drama Dead Set. Black Mirror, which he created, wrote, and executive produced, became his signature work: a dystopian anthology exploring technology's darker implications. Beyond television, Brooker has written social criticism for The Guardian, co-founded the second-hand retailer CeX and designed its logo, and served as creative director at production company Zeppotron. As a screenwriter, he combines visual storytelling with caustic commentary on consumer culture and institutional power. Born under Pisces, a water sign associated with imagination and sensitivity, Brooker channels those traits into dystopian narratives that feel emotionally acute despite their bleakness. His life-path number 6 suggests a focus on responsibility and truth-telling—a fitting framework for a career built on calling out media BS. Based in the UK, he represents a distinctly British tradition of acerbic cultural commentary.
