To repeat the sentiment that has been expressed by students on campus in the past: Our lives are no joke. Threats like these, sick hoax or not,...

Interactive fiction is nothing new, but "Black Mirror: Bandersnatch" is fully aware of that. In fact, the film was maybe too aware of the popularity of “choose your own adventure” books of the ’80s and ’90s, and Netflix is being sued by Chooseco LLC over trademark infringement.
