I had one of the weirder moments in a weird life last night when I realised that the Black Mirror episode Playthings was inspired by Creatures, a game I worked on in the 90s. Charlie Brooker reviewed it at the time, and apparently it stuck in his head.

A thrill to see Laurie Anderson’s epic multi-media show in Manchester last night. An enormous, apocalyptic sound generated by a three musicians on stage, and some ghosts offstage.
