Re: Dystopia
Got this on my ebook reader looking forward to reading it sounds interesting.Pappa wrote:Oh yes.... how could I have forgotten about that. What an excellent book. Huxley was accused of ripping it off in Brave New World. He denied it, but Orwell openly called him a liar. Considering the circles he was in, it's unlikely that Huxley was unaware of We. From what I understand, manuscript copies of it were doing the rounds among literary types in the US at the time.Audley Strange wrote:We. Yevgeny Zamyatin.
The Pope was today knocked down at the start of Christmas mass by a woman who hopped over the barriers. The woman was said to be, "Mentally unstable."Trolldor wrote:Ahh cardinal Pell. He's like a monkey after a lobotomy and three lines of cocaine.
Which is probably why she went unnoticed among a crowd of Christians.
