1995? Probs written earlier, and WOW! They knew even then that everything we do would be on a computer screen, able to be accessed, manipulated and used against us.

Just think, back then how limited our computer use was compared to now...especially with facebook.

You get the feeling that the government is using the novel "1984" as a manual.

So true. When she signs Ruth Marx, it's March 29, 1995. 20 years ago.

Logged in to say the same thing. This was a cheesy fun movie, but very prophetic. The average person wouldn't have appreciated it at the time.
