Mr. Robot is one of those shows that people always reference when they talk about hacking or worst case scenario when it comes what the world can turn into. The scary part, the world is not too far off from Sam Esmail's creation.
One of the key similarities is the way the shows main character Elliot encapsulates what it means to be a hacker. The more dependent we get with technology and reliance on phone apps to run our homes, we become vulnerable. People like Elliot who is this wizard hacker will be the people who will do whatever they want. If they choose to destroy a company by hacking into to their system and earsing everything, that will not be too far off.
People like Edward Snowden have warned us on the surveillance of that the CIA was doing and how powerful their reach can be on the American. Cell phones are connected through internet and apps that are constantly giving off exact locations to where are currently located.
It doesn't take much to know that the future is scary, but precautions and learning about how to keep yourself safe is key.
