Hollywood has a long history of getting hacking laughably wrong. As the public grows savvier about the possibilities and threats that technology can pose, are we seeing its portrayal in popular culture change? The stars of MR. ROBOT, Rami Malek and Christian Slater, along with series creator Sam Esmail, will tackle these questions, discussing the realistic depiction of tech culture in USA Network’s hit series, how it serves to support the show’s storytelling, and why accuracy and authenticity matter when it comes to attracting and maintaining contemporary audiences.

SXSW’s original goal was to create an event that would act as a tool for creative people and the companies they work with to develop their careers, to bring together people from a wide area to meet and share ideas. That continues to be the goal today whether it is music, film or interactive technologies.
