The ad references George Orwell's 1949 novel 1984, which describes a dystopian future controlled by a televised "Big Brother". The ad's message was that Macintosh would revolutionize computing and that the future of technology would bring freedom, rather than control.
Starring Anya Major and David Graham, this classic ad, conceived by visionaries Steve Hayden, Brent Thomas, and Lee Clow, took the world by storm during Superbowl XVIII.
In 2023, its relevance has only deepened, drawing parallels to the dystopian themes of George Orwell's novel.
