Tagline
In the year 2084, the fate of mankind will rest in the hands of a total moron
Overview
In the year 2084, society is slowly being crushed into conformity by an all-powerful computer. But one man is surprisingly impervious to the malevolent machine’s relentless conditioning. How is this possible? Because he doesn’t have enough brains to be brainwashed, demonstrating that perhaps, in this dystopian future, Ignorance really is Strength.
