think of back in the year 2000 when you ’d feed your brat kids their breakfast pellet , head to work under the city ’s weather controlled dome , your data processor overlords only recognize you by your nine digit recognition issue , and you ’d terminate your day fantasize about a life before computers ?
The January 18 , 1969 Montreal Gazette ran this most peculiar amusing , wedge full of hilarious expositional dialogue and dystopian delight .
We follow the futurist mischance of George Daedalus , also known as Daeda 928 502 467 , in the year 2000 advertising . George lives in Oshtoham , Canada ’s secondly largest city — which I ’m gauge is a combination of the cities Oshawa , Toronto and Markham — and exploit as a travel agentive role . George lives his life fence in by technological wonder like robot retainer , videophones , go sidewalks and 3D holograph walls , but we amount to obtain out that he ’s really just not that happy . The last dialog box shows George take on drugs and using a computer to scat his world . Boy am I glad I do n’t survive in that time to come ! *
