#MaxHeadroom was a #legendary #AI #character from the 80s. In 1987 however, a somewhat more #controversial version of him appeared on Chicago TV at 9:14pm. Rather than a comedic and exaggerated host, this version was a weirdly unsettling #hijacker, and the #incident became known as the Max Headroom Incident. This #hack/ #hijack/ #intrusion is something that has fascinated me for years, so here, I decided to cover the whole debacle.
