The new 'Mr. Robot' book could hold the key to Season 3

In the Season 2 finale of Mr. Robot, Tyrell Wellick (Martin Wallström) tells our troubled protagonist Elliot Alderson (Rami Malek) about a William Carlos Williams poem called "The Red Wheelbarrow," but that's not the first time we've come across the phrase. Eagle-eyed viewers likely noticed that the words were scrawled across the front of Elliot's journal from his time in prison earlier in the season, before fellow inmate "Hot Carla" burned it. Now, thanks to series creator Sam Esmail and writer Courtney Looney, fans can peel back the pages and learn what was really going on inside Elliot's head during that time period on the show, as well as getting a hint about the significance of those words moving forward. Robot' Season 2 was overly ambitious, but that's what made it great in the first place Robot: Red Wheelbarrow," will hit shelves on Nov. 1, and in a panel at New York Comic Con, Esmail gave fans a few hints about how the tie-in book links to the series as a whole. "Tyrell, in the final episode of Season 2, quotes this poem to Elliott and there's a bond formed between these two, which is actually a moment that happens in Season 1 after the scene between Mr. Robot and Tyrell," Esmail explains. "That poem, that phrase, 'Red Wheelbarrow,' sticks in E's mind and becomes a code word that he'll later explore in Season 3, but that becomes the inspiration for the book.
