Fifteen million merits

Fifteen million merits is not a post modern text. Discuss this claim with the reference to the Wachoski brothers, the matrix and one other text.

The media text I studied was an episode from the series, Black Mirror, Fifteen Million Merits.
I noticed that this text is not a post modern text, but however it deals with post modernity.
Within in this everybody in doing the same thing, on a static pedal bike earning points and maybe generating something which they are not aware of. This appears to be blurring the boundaries of human and machine, doing the same thing each day.
Hyperreality, which Jean Baudrillard talks about, can be applied to this text, the competition hot shot and the advert for porn, over exaggerating it in compared to what it actually is in real life. This then creates a confusion to what real is.
Fifteen Million Merits may appear to be a post modern text by having simulation and having a post modernity aspect to it and within this world they are in, everything is simulated, from the food machine to the waking up call.
With the food machine, the screen shows what the food looks like, but there is no visual proof of what the food is until it is vended to the buyer. Abbi said to bing that even the food was grown in a petri dish, Implying that everything is simulated and there is no sign to the real life.
At the talent show, hot shot, even the crowed was simulated, being an avatar representing that person. having an avatar allowed the people in this life to customize and create an image which gives of a false representation of them. Bing said that what they were buying for the avatar was junk, reflecting that what they were buying didn't actually exist.
I would view this text to have a dystopian view on life and an exaggerated reflection on today's society, That if we keep doing as we are told, someday the life style may change to be like Fifteen Million Merits, to live in a virtual reality. Within this episode
The idea of a hegemony, keeping everyone under an idea which is made to be the truth. This is shown by the talent show, that to be happy and have what you want, you must become famous.
Although Fifteen Million Merits have post modern features, i would argue that it wasn't a post modern text. Reason for this as it has a linear narrative, following a conventional structure. It also might be seen as having a hero's journey, but having the hero being unsuccessful in what he is trying to achieve. The episode has a linear narrative, and making it to tell what genre it is, it being a sci-fi based. Another text which shares similar features would be the Minority Report, having a linear narrative and has elements of post modernity. Also the Idea of a hegemony, keeping everyone under and idea to what they told is the truth. This text also features simulation, having the idea of of cars that hover and  vehicles that fly.
The matrix also deals with simulation, creating a world and blurring the boundaries to what is the real and what isn't, being a hyperreality. This is shown when Morpheus take Neo to the place where "desert of the real" showing a dystopian world. The matrix blurs the boundaries between, having the agents within the matrix being an infection, a virus, having no original body, making them simulacrum.
