Mr. Robot

Mr. Robot TV Series earns a spot on this blog not because Elliot Alderson, the lead actor (Rami Malek) is a weirdo but mainly because Sam Esmail is a notorious screenwriter and creator. 

This American drama-thriller TV series outstands as a daring portrait of the most advanced and powerful nation on the planet Earth. It shows the out-of-public eye deals between the actual men who rule the world. Or to be more objective deals between USA and China, the great competitors in the race for both world power and control. 

Quotes as “Our democracy has been hacked”; “Control is an illusion” and “Politics is for puppets” pretty much defines what is there for you to watch. If you have a keen interest in detail you may understand how billion dollar companies function in high ends hierarchy, influence the world economy and manipulate politics over own interest and profit. 

Yes, the plot line is a cybersecurity enginneer (the best) on daily basis (who happens to be delusional, drug user and depressive) and a hacker on his private nights builds up a group project to “change the world”. The world starts to change when his friends, family and himself are either being haunted and investigated by the corrupted FBI or worst case scenario murdered.  

I would say Mr. Robot is one of the best spot on TV Series of the Techno World of early XXI century. It works as an allegory.
