—Max Headroom
Max Headroom (created 2004)[1] was an artificial intelligence of the early 21st century. Headroom was created by Network 23 employee Bryce Lynch as a computer generated television host to impersonate Edison Carter after the network attempted to silence the latter's investigation into the Blipvert Project.[2]
