talesfromweirdland:I always felt there was something sinister—cold and disturbing—about “the world’s first computer-generated TV host”, quintessential 1980s character Max Headroom—but perhaps that was the idea. It didn’t surprise me when I heard that in the US, the show was scripted by Twilight Zone writers—George RR Martin did one (unproduced) episode.Watching TV as a kid, looking up from my homework, I would occasionally catch bits of the show. It didn’t seem like an actual show, it didn’t have an intro or end credits: it suddenly came and went, as if some malevolent digital subversion had hijacked the channel to spout nonsense at the audience, in that stuttering, electronic, vaguely threatening voice.I kind of miss that weird, satirical cyberpunk stuff though. -- source link
