In characteristically daring style, Anthony Burgess combines two responses to Orwell's 1984 in one book:
Part One: A Sharp Analysis
Through dialogues, parodies, and essays, Burgess sheds new light on what he called 'an apocalyptic codex of our worst fears'. This section creates a critique that is literature in its own right, offering readers a fresh perspective on Orwell's iconic work.
Part Two: Burgess' Own Dystopic Vision
Written in 1978, Burgess presents his own dystopian outlook, skewering both the present and the future. He describes a state where:
- Industrial disputes and social unrest compete with overwhelming surveillance.
- Security concerns and the dominance of technology make life a thing to be suffered rather than lived.
A Unique Guide to an Imaginative Writer
Together, these two works form a unique guide to one of the twentieth century's most talented, imaginative, and prescient writers. Several decades later, Burgess' most singular work still stands.
