r0B0t: Mr Robot's Rami Malek: 'The world is in chaos – and all we do is hyperconsume'  

The star of the most prescient show on TV has killed capitalism, torched the web and sparked a haircut trend

“I went to the barber's yesterday and the barber burst out laughing,” says Rami Malek. “She said, ‘Sorry for laughing it's just that everybody comes in asking for your haircut. And now you're here yourself.'”

Malek shouldn't sound so shocked. Since Mr Robot burst on to our screens last summer, the hacktivist thriller has been one of TV's most talked about shows and given us a new trim for our time. It's already won a Golden Globe and is tipped to dominate the Emmys, with Malek among the favourites to land best actor.

r0B0t: Hacking Mr. Robot  

Slate and Future Tense are discussing Mr. Robot and the technological world it portrays throughout the show's second season. You can follow this conversation on Future Tense, and Slate Plus members can also listen to Hacking Mr. Robot, a members-only podcast series featuring Lily Hay Newman and Fred Kaplan.

Mr. Robot, which returns Wednesday night for a second season on the USA Network, is a remarkable TV show: funny, edgy, suspenseful, subversive, and a piercing probe of the modern social fabric. In short, it's about a world controlled by computers and the hackers—especially our anti-hero and narrator, a lonely hacker named Elliot Alderson (brilliantly played by Rami Malek), who finds himself the kingpin of a secret society of hackers—plotting to bring down that world, the mainsprings of which only they understand.

At Season 1's fade-out, the hackers, who call themselves Fsociety, launch their massive cyberattack on E Corp., the evil megabank that seems to run the global economy (more on this later), wiping out all its data, erasing the debt of hundreds of millions of people, and thus fomenting revolution.

As the new season opens, the world is in chaos. In one scene, E Corp.'s general counsel walks into her smart home and, suddenly, all the Internet of Things runs amuck: the shower turns scalding hot, the stereo turns blaring loud, lights flash off and on, the burglar alarm's pass code doesn't work. Fsociety has hacked into her home's main computer, and she doesn't know what to do. “It's all inside the walls!” she screams into the phone, when a tech-support staffer advises her to check the wiring. That's the way her smart home was packaged.

What a metaphor for modern life—and only a slight extension of its reality. Nearly all the pieces of our critical infrastructure—banking, transportation, energy, waterworks, government, the military, and of course information technology—are wired into computer networks. With the Internet of Things, so, increasingly, are our appliances and cars. If these systems break down, whether due to a technical flaw or a hacker's keystrokes, most of us don't—and won't—know what to do. In a DARPA-financed experiment last year, a pair of computer specialists, one of whom used to work at the National Security Agency and is now the security chief of Uber's driverless-car program, hacked into a Jeep Cherokee and commandeered its steering wheel, accelerator, brakes, GPS receiver, windshield wipers—everything.

In other words, there's more than a patina of authenticity to Mr. Robot.

Most shows that deal with technology lose their footing when they try to go deep or get detailed. The viewers who know the field roll their eyes in derision; those who don't still sense that something's off. The creators of Mr. Robot—showrunner Sam Esmail and his crew of consultants—get these things, small and large, right. When the characters type commands and codes on their laptops, what we see on their monitors is the real deal: no post-production green-screen gibberish here. In the early part of Season 1, before Elliot joins (or realizes that his schizoid self is leading) the revolution, he hacks his few friends, his boss, and his shrink, as well as a few miscreants (a child pornographer, a drug dealer, and his shrink's philandering boyfriend) whom he blackmails or turns in to the authorities. The techniques he uses to crack their passwords or otherwise gain access to their files are real, time-tested tools. It's so easy for Elliot (and for the many hackers in real life) and so shocking to his victims when they realize how wide-open they've left themselves.

These scenes capture a new power equation in the internet era—the control, by those who have mastered the technology, over the rest of us who blithely plaster everything about ourselves online. In one scene, Elliot phones one of his prey, pretending to be a bank officer (he's already found out where the target banks), and asks, as part of a “security review,” for his address, favorite sports team, and pet's name. From that information, Elliot pieces together the guy's password.

It's often as simple as that. When I was researching my book, Dark Territory: The Secret History of Cyber War, Matt Devost, president and CEO of the cybersecurity firm FusionX, told me about his days running the “red team” in war games that tested the vulnerability of NATO communications systems. In one game, Devost was having a hard time cracking the commanding general's password. So he looked up his biographical sketch on a military website, tried out some of the personal details it cited, and finally hit gold by combining “Rutgers,” where the general's son was attending college, with a two-digit number, which a commercially available random-numbers generator guessed in less than a second.

But what about the show's larger premise: Could a skilled hacker penetrate a megacorporation's computer network; erase all its data; and, as a result, topple the capitalist system—or at least wipe out the debt of the masses? This is where the show goes too far and, in another sense, not far enough.

The irony is that, of all the critical sectors of the American economy, banking and finance are doing pretty well when it comes to cybersecurity. Their entire business, after all, relies on taking your money and earning your trust. They also have a lot of money, which allows them to hire the best engineers to secure their networks. Hackers try to get in all the time, but they rarely succeed, and when they do, they're detected and ejected fairly quickly, and the hole is patched not long after. A major attack, of the sort portrayed in Mr. Robot, is plausible, but its results might not be enduring. (Even if the bank's cybersecurity team couldn't repair the damage, the Department of Homeland Security could send the NSA an official request for technical assistance. And I'm pretty sure that, whatever a backroom of anarchic hackers could do, the elite hackers of the NSA's Tailored Access Operations office could trace and reverse.)

One other feature of the American economy: compared with other industrialized nations, it's decentralized. The cyber-shutdown of a very large bank would send devastating shockwaves across the entire financial system (think Lehman Brothers in 2008), but it wouldn't mean the shutdown of all banks or all bank transactions. Even if hackers jammed or erased Bank of America's data (and its backup files), they wouldn't have touched the data at J.P. Morgan, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, or the others. The liberation of every indebted citizen isn't so plausible.

Finally, if there really was a firm as monolithic as E Corp., and if hackers really did freeze its data, the chaos would be a lot wilder. We do catch a glimpse of the disorder in one scene, where a woman, after waiting three days for an appointment, tells a banker that she's paid off her mortgage and presents the papers to prove it; but the banker can't get into the computer and doesn't trust the paperwork because, so she says, a lot of counterfeit documents are out there. But in other scenes, we see normal street traffic, open bodegas, routine commerce—when I suspect that, in fact, there'd be rioting everywhere.

Maybe the larger breakdown will erupt in future episodes.

But the basic syllogism of contemporary life, Mr. Robot gets precisely right: Almost everything is hooked up to the internet; almost everything on the internet can be hacked and thus manipulated or destroyed; therefore, almost everything can be hacked and manipulated or destroyed. Should this dynamic take off, should the potential threats that we read about erupt into actual attacks and breakdowns, then up will be down, down up, and the line between madness and order—the line that Elliot walks more and more precariously as the show progresses—could blur into a haze of indistinction.

r0B0t: The Angle: Small Donations Edition  

Which aspect of the Bernie Sanders campaign will make a lasting mark on the political landscape? Jamelle Bouie points to Sanders' record of garnering very small donations. “There's a strong chance that the Sanders fundraising apparatus—which surpasses Obama's in its scope and ability to rapidly raise huge sums—will end up as the senator's chief contribution to progressive politics,” Bouie writes.

Meanwhile, Eli Clifton and Joshua Holland argue that the Sanders campaign's approach to spending all his small-donor money was disappointingly conventional and probably didn't help its chances. “A great deal of that money bought a blast of commercials preceding caucuses and primaries across the country,” Clifton and Holland write, “one effect of which was to enrich a small group of Democratic consultants whose compensation is tied to media spending.”

The second season of the beloved Mr. Robot is here, and Willa Paskin wonders how long the “aesthetically polished and intellectually incensed” show can continue to critique capitalism. “[Showrunner Sam] Esmail, having created a cult TV show, is expressing some skepticism about television, a medium that, for much of its life, existed to sell audiences soap,” Paskin observes. “Mr. Robot is like an iPhone with an ‘I hate Apple' ring-tone: both are beautifully designed, powerful products that are superficially conflicted about being beautifully designed, powerful products.”

Our features editor Jessica Winter has published a novel about a toxic workplace that is explicitly NOT Slate.com. She talks with L.V. Anderson about what it's like to be stuck with a bad manager, why poisonous office jobs are so successful at getting under our skin, and why all-female workplaces can go so terribly wrong.

The top four male golfers in the world rankings have decided not to go to the Olympics. Fine, Josh Levin writes. But they should stop hiding behind a supposed fear of Zika infection. “While plenty of athletes have raised concerns about Zika,” Levin writes, “male golfers have led the way in using it as an excuse to take the week off.”

For fun: Samuel L. Jackson narrates a 7-minute beginner's guide to the world of Game of Thrones.

Some spoilers, but it's very worth it,

r0B0t: In Season 2, Mr. Robot Has Become a Critique of Itself  

Mr. Robot, the aesthetically polished and intellectually incensed USA series about mentally disturbed hacker Elliot Alderson (Rami Malek), arrived last year as if out of nowhere—nowhere being an acceptable synonym for the USA Network, which before Mr. Robot was home to a number of indistinguishable and effective escapist procedurals. Created by Sam Esmail, Mr. Robot had style to spare, a logo befitting an '80s arena rock band (a compliment!), intimate and eerie narration, and a riveting performance from Malek, who makes silence and motionlessness—two of Elliot's preferred states—scream with jittery unease. And it had ideas in its head. Inspired by Occupy Wall Street, Anonymous, and the great recession, Elliot led a hacker collective called F-Society, out to erase the world's debt and take down Evil Corp, a powerful and nefarious multinational. Netflix and HBO aside, the predominant business model for television is taking cash from corporations to air their advertisements, yet Elliot excoriated McDonald's, Coke, and consumerism on the medium that sells all three.

With its anti-capitalist talking points, antisocial hero, and world-on-the-brink atmosphere, Mr. Robot felt bracing and bold. But its stylishness and its ideological unrest were soldered to a more standard-issue plot machine. For all its originality, Mr. Robot at first harnessed the appeal of the procedural, allowing us to get to know Elliot as he hacked his way into intimacy with strangers, while getting a complex, technologically precise, season-long storyline off the ground, one that ultimately harnessed the punch of the twist. In the season's climax, Mr. Robot (Christian Slater), the man who brought Elliot into F-Society, was revealed to be a figment of Elliot's own imagination. Among Elliot's many psychological ailments was apparently dissociative identity disorder (previously known as multiple personality disorder).

The two-hour Season 2 premiere, airing Wednesday night, is as stylish and well-performed as any episode in Season 1, but it is also confusing, burdened by the series' dense backstory and intricate, time-skipping structure. The new season will surely rev up: Malek's performance remains excellent, there's a devotion to verisimilitude that includes casting someone to play Janet Yellin, and an act of violence that demonstrates the series can still tap into the dystopic, widening-gyre vibe of the present moment at will. But the premiere is a time waster, diligently checking in on the series' supporting players while Elliot tries to stay on the sidelines. Some weeks after the events of the Season 1 finale, Elliot is hewing to a strict routine and avoiding all computers, hoping to keep Mr. Robot from taking over his mind again, with no help at all from Mr. Robot, who is a very loud manifestation of mental illness. Mr. Robot spends the premiere berating and attacking Elliot, trying to rouse him into taking part in the revolution he began. It's strident and tedious. We know Mr. Robot will get his way. There's a show to make.

In the first season, Elliot was consumed by the idea that everyone around him was a sheep, awash in false choices, unknowingly vulnerable, so much less free than they imagined themselves to be. But at the start of Season 2, Elliot is trying to domesticate himself. He eats and sleeps and watches basketball, all in locations with so little detail, color, and advertising they could be from a dream or the USSR. Elliot also keeps making snide comments about television. He insults NCIS (which airs in reruns on USA). The guy he eats his meal with humorously riffs on the nihilistic meaning of Seinfeld. In another storyline, a dopey character can't stop watching Vanderpump Rules. Esmail, having created a cult TV show, is expressing some skepticism about television, a medium that, for much of its life, existed to sell audiences soap. Mr. Robot is like an iPhone with an “I hate Apple” ring tone: Both are beautifully designed, powerful products that are superficially conflicted about being beautifully designed, powerful products. For all that Mr. Robot invites us to think about global financial issues, the unchecked power of technology, and imminent societal collapse, it also demonstrates just how efficiently capitalism co-opts all critiques: It can even turn a criminal hacktivist into the poster boy for a cable network.
