• Plot: 20 Minutes Into the Future...; Television networks battle one another in an unrelenting ratings war. Whoever controls the airwaves controls the dystopic world in which they broadcast. So when Network 23's star report, Edison Carter, uncovers a deadly secret that could shake up the station's dominion over its viewers, the only option is to eliminate Carter before he can make his story public. After Carter's 'accident,' his mind is uploaded to create the world's first self-aware, computer-generated TV host - Max Headroom! But will Max bow to his creators? Or will he be the key to his human alter ego bringing down a network superpower?; ; With his own international talk show, music videos, countless endorsements and merchandising, the puckish Max Headroom became more than just a character on television. He was a decade-defining icon, never better represented than in this sardonically witty, adventurous look at society and media's own place within it.
