Das düsterste GEHEIMNIS der 80er: Die KI, die keine war

Max Headroom was Black Mirror before the show even existed. An artificial media figure from the 80s, who was actually a lie: not a real AI, not a computer entity—just a mask, editing, and an ingenious trick. Nevertheless, Max Headroom told a story of a FUTURE in which media, advertising, corporations, and digital avatars manipulate our reality—in other words, of TODAY! We tell the story of a cult figure who was too far ahead of his time and probably failed spectacularly for that reason. Why did this fake AI become so prophetic? Who was really behind the stuttering digital character? We examine how Max Headroom manipulated the media landscape, why he is more relevant today than ever, and what dark secret lies behind the unsolved Chicago Signal Intrusion Incident. From his visionary beginnings as a music presenter to the controversial Coca-Cola deal and the complete system crash. We also explore what the creators have to do with a legendary film flop and why warnings about surveillance and corporate power are no longer science fiction, but our reality.
