Bruce came up with this the artificial kid and this begins with the titular character live streaming to a global audience and you know this is like 1980 this is years before the internet got going at home you know it's 20 years before that so it's really quite something.
The Artificial Kid (1980)
Miles above the surface, the ultra-wealthy live in orbital homes, watching the surface citizens' home-produced videos of sex and extreme violence. The title character of The Artificial Kid, Arti, is the most popular of the Combat Artists. Arti has reached the height of his fame--equally loved by his fans and friends and despised by his competitors. However, he is not entirely who he seems to be, and when the planetary founder mysteriously returns, The Artificial Kid finds himself embroiled in a battle for power that's not ready for prime time.
