That’s when I decided to hack you." This week on THE SCRIPT, we analyze the new cyberpunk drama series on USA: “MR. ROBOT” What is the definition of the Cyberpunk anyway?

How do you write in a niche genre and keep a broad audience entertained when they have little genre precognition? #PhilipKDickReference What is a greater feat in screenwriting: making every scene end different from how the audience expects OR showing internal conflict in a visual medium through character choices under pressure? (HINT: Creator Sam Esmail knows how to do both). And find out where we thinking Mr. Robot ranks in the hall of fame for "Obligatory Computer Screen POV Hacking Shots"  ps -ef | grep -i os12
