+Watch Dogs 2 [TVTropes](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/VideoGame/WatchDogs2) is an Ubisoft game which describes modern hacker movement in one of the most technologically vibrant places in the world: San Francisco. It contains a whole lot of misrepresentations:
  - Hacking equals hacktivism. No one is working on open source projects to help their community. No one is investigating a technology out of curiosity.
  - Hackerspace as a gang. Members steal, destroy property, embezzle money, hurt people (either lethally or not). Community service is shown as a disgrace.
  - Technology is a magical joke. Characters 3D-print fully assembled drones, weapons.
+ - Characters not having their own goals and lives outside of DedSec. It's as if you copied [Cynic](characters:main:c_n1c)'s attitude several times, on different personalities which don't really support it.
+ - Too much focus on Silicon Valley values and vocabulary:
+   - [Sitara](http://watchdogs.wikia.com/wiki/Sitara_Dhawan) exclaiming that "DedSec is her _BRAND_". She seems to be focused mostly on the PR / marketing aspects, showing little interest in community itself.

+## Mr Robot
+Mr. Robot [TVTropes](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Series/MrRobot) is a 2015 TV series following the adventures of Elliot, system administrator and a hacktivist.
+ - hackers == hacktivists, no one is trying to build something, everyone wants to destroy the current system and see the world in flames
+ - There is no hackerspace or community, but rather a terrorist cell on their mission.
+ - Elliot, the main character _does_ have a job, but doesn't really have any goals outside of stalking people over the Internet and smashing the system. He's deeply antisocial (way worse than [Cynic](characters:main:c_n1c)) and has problems with basic human interactions.
