I believed it was like war games growing up. I knew it wasn't like hackers but still enjoyed it. I knew the takedown story and it didn't represent the whole community but presented a real slice from one person. Mr Robot is a show but played like a movie and represented a shared vision of what many secretly wanted until everything fell apart.
From my experience hacker culture is more like the movie: The King of Kong with all of the drama/bragging/pettiness of a high school musical fight.
