Mr. Robot is a television drama with an unusually techno-cynical premise, tying cybersecurity to the contemporary malaise of social alienation and political disengagement. Weary of consumer capitalism, the show's youthful protagonists seek a more authentic sense of belonging by exploiting the vulnerability of a global economic system that depends critically on creaking technological infrastructures. A remarkable display of iconoclasm for commercial entertainment, Mr. Robot suggests rising discontentment with the commodification of friendship through consumer electronics, but it may also offer media enterprises a model for how to profit from that discontentment in the future.

远离孤独的人群

《机器人先生》是一部具有不同寻常的技术愤世嫉俗前提的电视剧,将网络安全与社会疏离和政治脱离的当代弊病联系在一起。厌倦了消费资本主义,该剧的年轻主角们利用全球经济体系的脆弱性寻求更真实的归属感,该体系严重依赖于脆弱的技术基础设施。作为对商业娱乐的反传统的非凡表现,Robot 先生表明人们对通过消费电子产品将友谊商品化的不满情绪日益高涨,但它也可能为媒体企业提供一个如何在未来从这种不满情绪中获利的模式。
