Mr Robot gives a nod to the Mandela Effect
- Carter Tweed
Operation Berenstain
Keen-eyed Mr Robot fans would have noticed that Season 2 Episode 4 introduced a top secret operation known only as Operation Berernstain. This is a reference to the Mass Memory Discrepancy Effect involving the spelling of the Berernstain/Berernstein Bears in the books, and later TV show, from the 60's.
Well known for its gritty realism when it comes to tech matters - just ask any hacker - the show also prides itself on having its finger on the pulse when it comes to whats hot in society generally, and social media in particular. The Mandela Effect is on an upwards trend, so it's no secret such a cool and hip show wants to get in on the action.
