The year is 1949. The place Los Angeles. Two world-famous
novelists, George Orwell and Aldous Huxley, meet at Huxley's
Hollywood home. What follows is an imagined conversation between
these two titans when they discuss their novels. And much, much
more. Behold the mystery. What is the secret of the enduring impact
of '1984' and 'Brave New World?' What are the key themes and ideas?
Many believe that both works are a nightmarish vision of a future
that is now upon us. But, as the title of this book suggests, that
is not how Orwell and Huxley themselves viewed their own work. For
'1984' and 'Brave New World' are, supremely, fictionalized
commentaries on trends in society that engaged both writers in the
decade before and the one after the Second World War. So they can
be read more as warnings rather than prophecies. But what Orwell
and Huxley have to say if it appals also fascinates and enthrals at
one and the same time.
