Max Headroom

In a world where television has become a constant presence, it's illegal to turn off the TV and televisions are given to those in need. In this world, Network 23's top-rated news program features a charismatic roving reporter named Edison Carter.

As a result, his consciousness is uploaded into a computer, giving birth to the computer-generated personality Max Headroom.
