Who is Elliot Alderson in Mr. Robot?
Hello, friend · fsociety
Elliot Alderson (Hello, friend) is a character in Mr. Robot, part of fsociety. Elliot Alderson works cybersecurity at Allsafe by day and, by night, hacks the people around him — not for money, but because reading their secrets is the only intimacy he can tolerate. Morphine on a managed schedule, social anxiety on an unmanaged one, and a narrator's voice addressed to us, the imaginary friend he invented to survive. When a man in an anarchist's jacket starts appearing on subway platforms with an offer — help take down E Corp, the conglomerate Elliot privately calls Evil Corp — the loneliest hacker in New York has to decide how real he wants the revolution to be.
