Does anyone find the stark similarities to everything going on and how it's similar to that show? Economy crash, e-coins, inflation, all the news segment stories, etc. The show was made years ago but it's surprisingly fitting for today. I know it's something that can be easily predicted as well but it just seems too coincidental sometimes.

The precise term for this is "predictive programming" - and yes, Mr. Robot has it in spades!
How about Malek there?
Phonetically close to Moloch, and malak, which apparently means "messenger" in Hebrew.
Can you cite any specifics? I watched the show twice, like it, but nothing really stood out as predictive programming. Just written by smart people who are well informed. It wasn't written all that long ago, every element of today's world was already in play when they were writting.
What did I miss/forget?
I do think the show was headed in a different direction though, and it changed due to events which happened during the course season one and two airing.
I'll have to rewatch it.
