"I have a really weird idea"--the rise of Mr. Robot's IRL show-hacking

Mr. Robot writer Kor Adana's in-season schedule seems tough. In addition to some pivotal plot-making in the writers' room, Adana does appearances on the The Verge's Digital After Show, conducts regular post-episode Q&As with The Hollywood Reporter, and famously leads the charge on the show's obsession with technical detail. Each bit of screen real-estate that appears in an episode--URLs, code, IP addresses, etc.--has to pass through Adana and the team. But throughout all of that, one constant Mr. Robot quest stays in the back of the mind. The execution, however, left a lot to be desired.
