Summary
Who wants to live forever?
Surely not Edison Carter; an accredited investigative reporter for the globally-broadcast Network 23, he's already secured immortality in the minds of his fans. He's the shining star of the show that bears his name. To this desolate dystopia of a future, he's the only one willing to dig through the rubble of the Fringes to deliver the truth in a world gone mad. On the heels of his next biggest story, however, suddenly everything changes.
The elixir of life comes in the form of Max Headroom, more "egotist" than "alter ego". Created from Edison's digitized mind, he's the hottest - and most dangerous - new commodity. With Edison's memories deep within his code, he's the perfect solution to what the Network's been missing, a programmable media darling with all the charisma and humor of their greatest success. The only thing standing in the way of coming out on top is his residual stubbornness.
Twenty minutes into the future, influence is king, and Max is the king of influence. With so many bickering parties in Laser City, it's only a matter of time before others want a taste.
