"'It's like getting new software installed in your head,' Brooker said of being a father, though he rejected the idea that it had mellowed him."
Metaphor in Context
In 2010, Brooker retired the column and married Konnie Huq, a former host of the classic BBC children's variety program "Blue Peter." They now have two young children. "It's like getting new software installed in your head," Brooker said of being a father, though he rejected the idea that it had mellowed him. "If anything, I've got to get crosser. There are people who are going to be around after I'm dead who I give a shit about."
