The Apple versus the FBI battle over iPhone encryption is the technology story of 2016 so far, and Mr. Robot will give its own unique take, despite the fact that Esmail said he wrote the episodes before the legal fight was made public.
"I'm not trying to say I'm a fortune-teller," he said in a live stream from the event. "We were really going thematically into encryption and privacy, and this whole thing with Apple and Tim Cook happened.
"I think privacy is going to be a huge issue in the next 10 years or so ... It's going to be an interesting public discourse"
Esmail also revealed the extent to which the Arab Spring influenced his work. Esmail, who is Egyptian-American, had family members in Egypt who he said "were using technology to bring about this revolution."
"That, to me, was the third piece of Elliot ... anger channeled in a positive way," he said. "Anger that makes a difference in your society, and so that was quite critical in developing Elliot's character."
Either way, Season 2 is sure to satisfy even the most techno-dystopian viewer. As Esmail previously revealed at New York Comic Con in 2015, it's going to get "Really fucking dark."
