My generation doesn’t read brochures.
We are the brochure.
This isn’t just a pamphlet. It’s a prophecy.
 
This 20-page artifact introduced the world to the Macintosh — a machine that promised to “think different.” What it really did was teach the world how to live inside a screen.
 
My father labeled it Artifact 0007.
 
He underlined one phrase in the center spread:
“The computer for the rest of us.”
 
Then wrote in the margin: “Or the trap built just for us?”
 
By 2038, that interface has swallowed everything. Work. Play. Love. Thought. This brochure is where it all began. That’s why I call it the Genesis File — the first soft whisper of the loud world we now live in.
 
Includes:
Original 1984 introduction brochure (Apple Inc.)
