Amazon is piloting a tv show called Hysteria, which is all about scary stuff happening online, according to The Verge. It focuses on
a town where a strange "psycho-physiological illness" causing violent fits and spasms appears to be spreading through social media. How is that possible? It's entirely unclear for now, but perhaps it's something like a really bad meme.
Fearsome digital media is well established by now after a generation's worth of scary stories and popular immersion in cyberspace. Let's see how this show trades upon that familiarity.
