Experience Elliot's battles to gain control of his life and his struggles to survive increasingly dangerous circumstances in a brand-new story rendered in his own words.
You'll discover the story behind Mr. Robot season two and hints of what is to come. This book is the ultimate journey into the world of the show - and a key to hacking the mind of its main character.
Mr. Robot is a psychological thriller that follows Elliot (Rami Malek, The Pacific), a young programmer, who works as a cyber-security engineer by day and as a vigilante hacker by night. Elliot finds himself at a crossroads when the mysterious leader (Christian Slater, Adderall Diaries) of an underground hacker group recruits him to destroy the firm he is paid to protect.
Sam Esmail serves as creator, executive producer, writer and director on USA Network’s Golden Globe® Award winning series MR ROBOT.
After graduating from NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, Esmail attended AFI's directing program where he received his M.F.A. In 2008, he wrote his first feature screenplay, “Sequels, Remakes & Adaptations,” which landed on the Black List, a survey taken by more than 600 production companies and film financier executives naming their most-liked screenplays. He followed that up a year later with his second Black List script, “Norm the Movie.” His feature directorial debut, “Comet,” was released through IFC in 2014.
Since its premiere, MR ROBOT has received three Golden Globe® Award nominations and two wins including Best Drama, a Peabody Award, a SAG® Award nomination, four Critics’ Choice® Award nominations and three wins, two Writers Guild® Award nominations and one win for Best New Series, and three IPA Satellite® Award nominations and one win for Best Supporting Actor.
