Soap, Tamagotchi or Babybel Cheese? Kanye West releases his new album exclusively on his “Stem Player”. A first, shy encounter.
In the first night with the thing in the apartment it is a little queasy.

Anyone who knows the British series “Black Mirror”, in which bizarre, fictional short stories from the technological future are told, will recognize a conceivable screenplay here: Curious and naive people order a gadget from a dubious source and have it delivered by the postman. And three days later he is an externally controlled zombie with a computer virus in his brain.
