Orwell & Huxley, Part 1 on Vyzygoth's Clubhouse. From the Vyzygoth Archives.
Devotees of Orwell and Huxley have endlessly debated whether one would likely be more accurate than the other in his dark view of the future.
Some think that one's prescience was necessarily the abnegation of the other's.
In these audios, besides discussing the wrong approach with which these books were presented in high school, they are more like metaphors rather than credible forewarnings about the potential dangers looming in the future. The strong points are also advanced and treated as confirmation that Orwell and Huxley, jointly, were far more right than wrong.
But now that the days they envisioned are upon us, how much of their dim views have come and are coming to fruition? And are readers of both authors any more aware that their signature works were not fiction?
