The hackers Mr. Robot

Douban score ：8.3

The reason why we put this play in the first place , Because I want to strongly recommend ！

The protagonist of this play is Eliot · Alderson (Elliot Alderson), Live in New York City , Is a network security engineer , Also suffering from social phobia . But at night , Eliot turned into a hacker , He met a mysterious anarchist , Mr. robot (Mr. Robot) . Mr robot recruited Eliot to join his hacker organization “ antisocial ”. Eliot was curious , But he is not sure whether he wants to join the hacker organization . Mr. robot asked Eliot to secretly destroy the company that hired Eliot . Eliot is disgusted with this multinational group , But uphold conscience and justice , He doesn't want to hurt the innocent , So I still resisted again and again to thoroughly expose this group that has great influence on the world .

Except for the plot of the shocking hacker group to destroy the evil big company , This play is the most realistic one I have ever seen to restore the life of programmers . It's true , Because of the technical details . This play tries to restore a real hacker , Use Linux Various orders 、 Write the script 、 appear DDos attack 、wifi The principle of cracking 、 Raspberry pie 、 Computer room ……, Of course, there is no difference between writing code and reading documents , After all, look at the computer in front of the camera , Tapping the keyboard for half a day is really boring .

This play also continues HBO The consistent style of ： Ratings and popularity don't matter , Just force Ge Gao ！
