One aspect that I haven’t touched on which is incredibly impressive about the show is how true to reality the hacking is. Elliot and other characters use authentic techniques, software, and tactics that real hackers use to perform hacks. So, if you are curious about how hacking works, like me, this show is an excellent gateway into that world. What defines a masterpiece? Well, I believe that a true masterpiece is a piece of art or entertainment that has the power to change people’s lives. It alters the way you view everything, and makes you think differently. In other words, it changes your perception of the world you find yourself in. That is what makes Mr. Robot a masterpiece, and I am living proof of it. I can say, without a word of a lie, that I am a changed person after this show. If not for Mr. Robot, I may not be studying Computer Science here at Trinity and aspiring to have a career in IT. I have always had an interest in Computer Science and tech, ever since my father introduced me to it when I was young. What sealed the deal was Mr. Robot. It did this by enveloping me into this world of cybersecurity and hacking, and never letting me go. It made a new home for me inside this idea for a world where all of this could take place, and it made me become decidedly fascinated with the real life version of what takes place in the show.
