This show has one of the highest levels of emotional content I've seen outside of real life.

Last night's episode (mirroring) where we finally find out who Mr. Robot is confirms this idea for me. Elliot is carrying some code, probably corrupted code, from his father (or scripted as a reaction to what happened with his father) and it is struggling for control of his CPU/mind. I just love how this show toys…

Yes, I try to avoid using the term meme because many people have a problem with that concept ;) In the original usage, by Dawkins, it was described more like a computer script, e.g. discrete instructions for folding an origami figure.

Haha, sorry! No doubt it was in your subconscious if it resonated with you so strongly.

Man, it's been too long since I read snowcrash, but sounds plausible!

You don't think that people exchange bits of programming, but you want it to be true? Just trying to understand your reply, it was short and a bit ambiguous. Also an interesting feature of the programming we exchange with each other…due to imprecise language many parameters are left out and our minds are able to…

Yeah, explain to us how it really should work. Because drug addicts in the real world, who associate with drug dealers, never get touched by that world. And it's totally uninteresting to explore the notion that information technology doesn't only exist in corporate offices but out on the street too. What a lame idea…

People accustomed to what's going on and who know what happens to anyone who pays too much attention won't look.

As long as the cops realize she was working for Vera, they will probably focus their investigation on him. Or Elliot will have to delete all the evidence from their servers. What a useful skill!

I think the story is big enough for both psychological (Tyrell) and physical (Vera) danger. I think if this show existed solely in the realm of evil corp board rooms and corporate dinner parties it would get stale in a hurry. Part of what makes this show great is its range, that it, and IT, encompasses all lives, not…

What I took from the bonding scene between Angela and Shayla was in line with one of the themes I see emerging in the show. That people are like computer systems, passing bits of scripts between each other, to be executed on the various hardware. Shayla uploaded a tiny script to Angela when she told her the only thing…
