A wooden rolling library ladder in a bookstore, with a taped-on sign showing Belle from Beauty and the Beast in her blue dress, arm outstretched, sliding on a ladder in a library, covered by a red prohibition circle. A white sign on a rung reads "DO NOT CLIMB! please". Shelves of books, including Bridgerton novels, surround it. Movie still of a bald man with an earpiece wire, a bruised face and a stern look, with a man in dark sunglasses and a suit leaning in behind him. Caption on the bald man: "WE SHOULD DESTROY THE MATRIX." Caption on the other man: "YET YOU PARTICIPATE IN THE MATRIX. CURIOUS. I AM VERY INTELLIGENT." A four-circle Venn diagram in pink, blue, yellow and green. Outer circles: Nineteen Eighty-Four, Fahrenheit 451, Brave New World, A Handmaid's Tale. Overlaps: Animal Farm, Soylent Green, Logan's Run, Brazil, Clockwork Orange, Lord of the Flies, Gattaca, The Matrix. Center: You Are Here. Black and white ink illustration of a man in a pinstripe suit lunging dramatically with both arms outstretched toward a tall woman in a long black mermaid-style gown. She stands with her eyes lowered and one hand raised delicately. A signature reads Mallory 2019. Movie still in a bowling alley: a long-haired bearded man in a gray cardigan sits with his foot up, a heavy man in tinted glasses and a vest holds a cigarette, and a younger man in an orange shirt listens. Caption: "Forget it, Donny, you're out of your element!" Top text reads: "Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light." Below is a photo of a white sign on a dark green door that reads: "REFUSE TO BE STORED IN BLACK PLASTIC SACKS AND PLACED IN THE CONTAINERS PROVIDED".
