Abstract
This study examines the use of digital science fiction narratives, specifically the episode 'Be Right Back' of Black Mirror, as a pedagogical tool in the classroom. The aim is to analyze how these narratives can encourage critical and ethical reflection in students on issues of technology and humanity. Through non-participant observation, a content analysis was carried out focused on the ethical and emotional aspects of the episode. The conclusions indicate that this type of narrative facilitates the development of analytical skills and allows connecting contemporary concerns with the students' daily lives.
