Investigative TV news reporter Edison Carter uncovers the disturbing secret of a new TV technology called "Blipverts,” high-intensity commercials with the ability to overload people's neural networks.

Loosely based on William Gibson's themes of anarcho-capitalism, social engineering and the disasterous rise of the technocracy in the West.

23 minutes into the future, the world has become imbued network-television. It's illegal to turn off your tv, and televisions are given to the needy. In this world, Network 23 has a highly-rated news program with a roving reporter named Edison Carter. But Carter gets caught in an experiment to create a computer-generated personality, and "Max Headroom" is born. Together, Max and Edison, along with Edison's controller (Theora), their boss (Murray), their boss' boss (Ben Cheviot), and Network 23's boy-genius (Bryce) combat crime, placate sponsors, defeat rival networks, and turn in stories.

  • apparently Max got cut because everyone was watching Dallas instead. And now we are living in the dystopia prophecised in this show.

    It was too good for TV and the cretins that watch soaps and gameshows.... ie the ratings.Ratings are what the viewer means to the networks.Quality of content matters not.Ratings are all that matter.

  • "Who really cares if our viewers explode?" ......Why can't more villains be that casually evil? These days its either a pathetic Social Worker or a blood-drenched Slasher.
