Inhaltsangabe
On the night of November 22, 1987, Chicago television was interrupted by something impossible.
For eighty-seven seconds, a grinning figure in a rubber mask hijacked the airwaves, speaking in fragments, mocking authority, and exposing a vulnerability no one thought existed. The incident became known as the Max Headroom hijacking—an unsolved act of broadcast intrusion so bizarre it felt less like a crime and more like a rupture in reality.
But the deeper mystery was never simply who did it.
In Hijacking the Signal, Elias Ward revisits one of the strangest unsolved media events in American history, uncovering the forgotten world of analogue television, pirate transmissions, underground technologists, and a city briefly haunted by the sense that something sealed had come undone. Through investigation, cultural history, and the uneasy psychology of unsolved mysteries, this book explores why a prank lasting less than ninety seconds continues to disturb us nearly four decades later.
Because some mysteries are never solved.
They linger.
And sometimes, the most frightening thing is realising the system was never closed to begin with.
