We go 20 minutes into the future and 36 years into the past to discuss ABC's cyberpunk drama "Max Headroom." For a show with an 80s pop-culture icon as its title character, it's actually a prescient satire about where our culture was (and still is?) headed. Even more than three decades later, its discussions of data security, the right to privacy in a technological age, artificial intelligence, and even deepfakes are still state of the art. (Non-American viewers who thought this was the show where Max Headroom introduced various music videos... uh, no.) Catch the wave and join us, won't you?
