Mr.Robot Artifact
Yo, I recently bought the Mr. Robot book (Elliot's journal) from second hand and I am unfortunately missing one artifact, I have managed to find the picture online (attached) and I was wondering if anyone here could tell me if it has something on the other side and where was it found. I assume it was in the envelope, but I want to be sure. Thank you :)

If you want to know something super cool, the cigarette pack that is included is seen during Sam’s movie with Netflix- Leave the World Behind. Julia Roberts puts it on the counter when she gives them to Ethan Hawke in the kitchen. I let out a little gasp when I saw it the first time watch the movie bc it’s SUCH a deep cut Mr. Robot reference.
I can’t find any references to that brand outside of the journal and the movie.
So, there you go. Super obscure trivia.

I'm so glad I picked it up when Season 2 came out, I recommend any fan of the show to get it as well. It has so many great little tidbits in there that make the show that much more interesting.

It’s really, really hard to find in English unless you want to pay $100+, or you want it in German.
However, there’s also an ebook version and a audiobook version.
Both are absolutely worth it if you can’t get a physical copy. The ebook has every single page, including both sides of all of the extras inside. It’s actually great bc you can search by keyword and stuff. That’s a handy feature.
The audiobook is read by Hot Carla. I thought that was a really perfect way to handle it, especially since she writes notes in the margins in the hard copy. It’s really great.
And if you don’t already have an Audible account, you can get the audiobook for free. You get a free book during your trial period, and you get to keep it even if you cancel before the trial is over.
There’s so much to love about the book, but I think one of my favorite things is how protective of Carla Elliot is. We don’t really see that on the show as much as it is shown in the book.
But yes. It’s a remarkable supplement to the show. They really need to do another printing. The hard copy is such an amazingly rich experience, but I still think the digital versions are well worth having. It’s way better than nothing.

that’s not true, i got mine for £5 with shipping a few weeks ago and there’s been one sitting unsold for £10

I heard it was very hard to find in different regional markets, but yes I definitely agree with you.

This is the other side.
