OPEN ON AN ORWELLIAN VISION OF THE FUTURE. MINDLESS,
HOLLOW-EYED PEOPLE MARCH IN LOCKSTEP TOWARD A HUGE
ASSEMBLY HALL, WHERE BIG BROTHER HARANGUES THEM WITH
THE PARTY LINE ON A HUGE VIDEO SCREEN.
BIG BROTHER: For today, we celebrate the first glorious anniversary of the
Information Purification Directives. We have created, for the first time in all
history...a garden of pure ideology...
AS THE CROWD STARES, UNSEEING, AT THE VIDEO SCREEN, AN
ATHLETIC YOUNG WOMAN, PURSUED BY GUARDS, RUNS INTO THE
HALL WIELDING A SLEDGEHAMMER.
BIG BROTHER: ..where each worker may bloom secure from the pests of
contradictory and confusing truths. Our Unification of Thought is more powerful
a weapon than any fleet or army on earth. We are one people. With one will. One
resolve. One cause. Our enemies shall talk themselves to death. And we will bury
them with their own confusion. We shall prevail!
THE WOMAN RUNS TOWARD THE SCREEN, WINDS UP AND THROWS
THE SLEDGEHAMMER WITH ALL HER STRENGTH. THE SCREEN
EXPLODES IN A BLINDING FLASH OF LIGHT WHICH SWEEPS OVER
THE STARING, UNCOMPREHENDING CROWD.
ANNCR: On January 24th, Apple Computer will introduce Macintosh. And
you'll see why 1984 won't be like "1984."
