The hacker drama Mr. Robot is the story of Elliot Alderon, a socially challenged infosec professional with a double life as a vigilante hacker. The show’s technical advisors said their input is sought before, during, and after scenes are shot. The set design also looks a lot like the FBI’s real cybersquad office, they said.

They’re not worried about copycats since all the hacks are in the public domain already.”]
