Gina The king of dystopian. Orwell was dying of TB while writing this so he put all he had into it. Also Aldous Huxley who wrote... was Orwell's teacher at one time. When Orwell sent Huxley the book Huxley replied it is good but mine is better.![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)
Brave New World and Brave New World Revisited 5y
Brave New World and Brave New World RevisitedShyBookOwl One of the best dystopian novels, right up there with The Handmaid's Tale (in my opinion) 5y
Curiouser_and_curiouser @Gina love this story, I did not know this about the two authors. 5y
Gina @Curiouser_and_curiouser I thought it was pretty neat when I stumbled on it. Also did you know he took the year he wrote 1948 and just flipped the last two numbers 1984. 5y
