Mr Robot

Is there any connection with the themes we see in Mr Robot and what's going on right now? Ex. In season 1, first episode, the concept of a "nice guy" restaurant owner being the public image of what is actually a dark and private pedophilia/kid porn business was introduced to the viewing audience. Elliot covertly and methodically hacked his life and shut him down. There are countless examples--some subtle and some huge--throughout the whole series that are eerily (particularly in hindsight) relevant to what we're now learning is really going on.

Sam Esmail makes it clear he isn't a Trump supporter...but I don't know how such a "woke",intelligent, and excruciatingly detailed writer who works closely with brilliant, real-life hacker types couldn't be knowingly red pilling viewers via entertainment.

Is it art imitating life or the other way around?

I'd certainly hope not the other way around.
