It was pleasure to co-write a piece on Orwell & Huxley with @atasoyemrah.bsky.social & see the piece get improved over time by the smart edits by @annalouwalker.bsky.social of @uk.theconversation.com --the results of this collaborative effort up now here theconversation.com/nineteen-eig...

Nineteen Eighty-Four and Brave New World should be read in tandem to understand today’s troubled times

In an era when all sorts of systems of control limit our freedoms, many don’t quite fit the template that Orwell or Huxley imagined – but combine elements of both.
