I'm trying not to spoil the show, but Mr. Robot exists in Elliot's head and is based on his dad who died when he was young. The show changed when Mr. Robot showed up on the subway and said "We live in interesting times!", from there it started to turn into a black hat hacker/Anonymous spin to take out Evil Corp by deleting their bank database and record of debt. Eliot thought Mr. Robot controlled F-Society, but Mr. Robot takes over Elliot's body sometimes and has him do black hat/Anonymous style things.

So in season 3, Elliot is staying away from computers and the Internet and trying to get a life and go outdoors. But Mr. Robot is there trying to take control. Elliot speaks to his friend who he describes as a monster inside him, but really it is the audience he speaks to, like he is breaking the fourth wall like Deadpool does.
