This is the title of an article by Theodore Dalrymple
(the author of the opinion piece making “the case for cannibalism” we assembled
and discussed in class). He makes some disturbing observations and draws insightful comparisons between Aldous Huxley's Brave New World and H. G. Wells’s The Time Machine, Jack London’s The Iron Heel, and George Orwell’s 1984 (and there is also a great dystopian book that is not
mentioned – since it was written in Russia – We, by Evgeny Zamyatin). I would rather not give away too much –
and would be curious as to what you make of it all. I will post a great article
here perhaps once a week for those who would like to continue to read great non-fiction outside of course assignments (which might be the best way to improve your written English). And I will try to respond to all comments
and questions. Enjoy!
