The piece opens as a special bus appears, carrying a group of tourists along a typical suburban street. When the bus stops, vegetable-shaped holograms appear out of thin air and begin singing a song to entice more people to board the bus. At this point, the main character, Clem boards the bus and takes an open seat next to one of many bozos on the bus. The bus soon resumes its journey and proceeds to its final destination, a World's Fair-like exhibit comparing the past and future.
Once there, Clem joins other tourists in various interactive exhibits, including one that asks Clem his name. When he hesitantly responds "Uh... Clem", the computer accepts this and refers to him from that point onwards as "Uh-Clem". The automated exhibits finally lead to the President of the United States, which is a computer given a voice reminiscent of then-President Richard Nixon. When Clem reaches the front of the line, he turns out to know the right things to say to the computer to break through its defenses ("This is Worker speaking. Hello.") and ask questions it can't answer ("Why does the Porridge Bird lay his eggs in the air?"), finally causing the "President" to shut down. When this attack fails to bring down the Fair's main computer system, Clem creates a holographic image of himself and sends it in to electronically confront the master computer, "Dr. Memory".
