Please describe the enterprising work that went into this entry and its significance or impact on readers:
Author Julie Sobowale’s feature "Managing Cyber Risk" conjured for us the imagery of the sleeper TV hit, "Mr. Robot," and therefore only one image would work best—a hipster hacker in a hoodie trying to hack past a firewall. We then combined the protagonist from "Mr. Robot" with the antagonist Emperor Palpatine from "Star Wars" in a sort of grungy "Minority Report" technological environment to complete what would become our March cover feature. The type was done in glowing white and glowing pink to soften what is an otherwise excitable, yet grim concept.
