Fight Club is the same plot in movie form right? Unreliable narrator, secret society (starting with "F") of anarcho-capitalists bent on bringing down Big Credit, cheesy hacking lingo etc?

The creator of the show doesn't hide that Fight Club is an influence.

The hacker stuff is pretty legit though. Characters use Termux on their phones, Kali Linux, python scripts etc

The first season of mr. robot borrows a hell of a lot from fight club, but it diverges as the show goes on. One of the rare shows that sticks the landing.

Mr. Robot has a lot of obvious nods to its influences, and that's fine. I loved the series, hated the ending thouugh.
