Resumo: The paper analyses Black Mirror’s episode Be right Back in order to discuss certain contemporary issues concerning the technological agenda. It highlights its Faustic inflexion such as emphasized by the Portuguese sociologist Hermínio Martins, and relates this question to José Gil’s investigations on the closure of the porosity of the skin, as well as its effects on the corrosion of Eros. Finally, it refers to the Nietzschean art of finding an end as a counterpoint to the sufferings related to loss and finitude, which constitute the central problem explored in Be right back.

A partir de uma retomada detalhada e comentada do episódio Volto já da série Black Mirror, o artigo discute a agenda atual da tecnociência em sua inflexão fáustica, com base nos trabalhos seminais de Hermínio Martins. Convoca, a seguir, José Gil para relacionar o impulso fáustico ao fechamento da porosidade da pele e à corrosão de Eros. Por fim, remete à proposta nietzschiana da arte de saber terminar como um contraponto aos sofrimentos com relação à perda e à finitude, tema central do episódio Volto já, de Black Mirror.
