- Abstract
The objective of this investigation is to analyze the connections established between the hacker culture and the transmedia strategies of TV series. For this purpose, the series Mr. Robot (2015-2019) has been selected as a case study. From the analysis point of view, a qualitative methodology has been used. The main results show that Mr. Robot's transmedia strategies incorporate contents based on free software, identity theft, retrocomputing, hacktivism, real-time hacking simulation, fictional cyberattack, social engineering, and the possibility of «hacking» the series itself.
