This is my favorite of the three classic political dystopia novels. 1984 takes square aim at totalitarianism. The book continues to be amazingly relevant today - especially with regard to the privacy and freedoms that we've lost since 9/11 and with respect to the borderline fascist religious right movement that is trying to amend our Constitution.
This is my second favorite of the three classic political dystopia novels. This one is not quite as dark as 1984 and offers an interesting contrast: where 1984 was concerned with a society in which people were intimidated and controlled through fear and the infliction of pain, here people are controlled by inflicting pleasure.
In 1984 Orwell feared those who would keep information from us; here Huxley fears those who would give us so much that we would be reduced to passivity and apathy. This is another book that remains amazingly relevant to today's media intensive society.
This is one of my favorite books of all time and is the third of the three classic political dystopia novels. This is the classic book on censorship and the repression of information by fascist / totalitarian governments.
These are some of my favorite books and authors.
