Alex Fine vs "Mr Robot" TV series
What are your thoughts? Is Alex Fine simply a glorified hacker? Should he be allowed to decide what is right or wrong? What is good or evil? Just because he can access information the rest of us can't or aren't allowed to.
In what ways do you think Alex Fine and Mr. Robot are the similar?

I am very much a Mr. Robot fan. Not sure about the similarities, just because I don't see Mr. Robot as being much about the hacking. That could just be my view though.
What is grief, if not love persevering?
Grief is just love with no place to go.

Yes, when I read that he is getting into bank accounts and government departments all I can think of is him hacking on a level all other hackers could only dream about.kandscreeley wrote:I haven't seen Mr. Robot, but I would definitely say that Alex is just a glorified hacker.

I've only seen season one so I can't speak about where the show is currently but the main similarity I see is how both use hacking to want to change the world they live in. Though I agree with you that Mr. Robot isn't primarily about hacking.Gravy wrote:Interesting comparison.

I agree. Whatever reason you have in taking the properties of other persons is a crime against humanity. It is a violation of our natural right which is right to property.Amagine wrote:I don't think he is a glorified hacker, I just think that he acts like one. Personally, I don't agree with his actions of stealing from others. There's not justification for taking something that doesn't belong to you.
