This week we watch Max Headroom: 20 Minutes Into The Future, originally airing on the UK's Channel 4.  Hotshot reporter Edison Carter is pursuing a story that could get his own bosses in trouble.  However, an accident while on location renders him temporarily comatose, which gives the 14 year old mad scientist at his network a chance to upload his consciousness to a computer, and Max Headroom is born.

The High Tech Low Life Podcast is a retrospective of cyberpunk fiction across all forms of media. Film, Television, Literature, Games, and Music are all on the table. In each episode we will revisit the property, it's influences, it's prescience, and enshrine it in the chrome and neon halls of Neo Valhalla.
