The second season just ended and it is a mind-warping experience. It is one of those shows that I am thankful for the internet. After each episode, I can find others online who are analyzing the show. I watch it, I love it, I am challenged by it, and I am confused by it. All is good.<\/p>\n<p>It is the story of a computer hacker.<\/p>\n<p>It is the story told from the mind of an insane person.<\/p>\n<p>It is the story of paranoia.<\/p>\n<p>It is the story of how a small group of people can alter the world&#8217;s economy forever.<\/p>\n<p>It is the story of survival.<\/p>\n<p>It is the story of madness.<\/p>\n<p>I am a huge fan of the show. It also brings to mind a few authors I enjoy. So if you like MR ROBOT, I suggest you read (or probably have already read) the following.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kafka.org\">Franz Kafka<\/a> &#8212; the original. Because of the change within but also the enduring madness and the paranoia of government powers.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.philipkdickfans.com\/biography\/\">Philip K. Dick<\/a> &#8212; the inner voices and the paranoia again. The descent into madness. Most any of his stories are acceptable here.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.harukimurakami.com\">Haruki Murakami <\/a>&#8212; the blending of what is real and what is not. One of the world&#8217;s greatest authors. He has so many great novels, good one that has parallel worlds is\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hard-Boiled_Wonderland_and_the_End_of_the_World\">HARD-BOILED\u00a0WONDERLAND AND THE END OF THE WORLD<\/a>. It it an amazing book with two intertwined worlds within one another.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-2090\" src=\"http:\/\/38enso.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Kafka-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"kafka\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-2089\" src=\"http:\/\/38enso.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Dick-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"dick\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-2092\" src=\"http:\/\/38enso.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/murakami-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"murakami\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I am sure there are other writers who are creating novels and stories that would be great for this list.<\/p>\n<p>If you haven&#8217;t seen MR ROBOT, I suggest you check it out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you have not watched MR ROBOT, I think you should.
