In characteristically daring style, Anthony Burgess combines two
responses to Orwell's 1984 in one book. The first is a sharp
analysis: through dialogues, parodies and essays, Burgess sheds new
light on what he called 'an apocalyptic codex of our worst fears',
creating a critique that is literature in its own right. Part two
is Burgess' own dystopic vision, written in 1978. He skewers both
the present and the future, describing a state where industrial
disputes and social unrest compete with overwhelming surveillance,
security concerns and the dominance of technology to make life a
thing to be suffered rather than lived. 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.
