I am fascinated as to how Esmail and the team will handle these new developments in our world in the new season. So many profound changes since the end of the season and after all, Mr. Robot always seems to be so deeply in tune with the things happening in the "real world".
To add to that, last season we kind of had this turn, were the protagonists had the feeling they have stepped into a kind of alternative reality. Don't most of us have the same feeling now?
"Death of the West" is the brilliant phrase used by the head of the European council, Donald Tusk, to describe these new times. He denied it is happening, but to me, it seemed he struck the nail on the head.

I for one feel like we're living in a soon-to-be-deleted time line, as soon as The Doctor or any human Time Agency gets on the case :D
It's almost certain they'll parallel the current descent to Hell. Have several loud and boombastic leader figures rise around the world.
Or, one could see the show as how the world will be 5-10 years in the future after all these real world changes in leadership and policy...

That for sure is an interesting issue and I would very much like to discuss it in depth, when I feel up to it!
Funny how i see word hell mentioned everywhere today.
May be I am the only one that exists used to be my sig on TheSiteThatShallNotBeNamed. It was inspired by Mr.Robot.

In a world populated by the likes of "Rodrigo Duterte," all bets for a "Star Trek" future are off. It's easier to see the world of "Mad Max" just over the top of the first mushroom cloud as "the war of the mushrooms" waits only for a trigger. Is there still time to be a "Prepper"?
