The show is heavily inspired by Fight Club and season 2 essentially picks up where Fight Club (and season 1) ends. As someone who is both a "hacker" and a huge fan of Fight Club this makes season 2 even more interesting to me.
I remember reading the foreword to Fight Club where the author stress that the "Fight" in Fight Club is not what the book is about. He even considered other types of clubs/themes to convey the ideas in the book.
So perhaps that's a way to look at it: Mr Robot is Hacker Club and hacking play the same role as fighting does in Fight Club.
- mockturtle 10y agoI was hoping the show would be more like the third act of Fight Club, where the protagonist's struggle with his alternative personality really drives the plot. Instead, the season doesn't appear to have any direction and the fight is between the protagonist's two personalities is one of the most boring parts.
