ORWELL'S REVENGE

Summary: An excellent sequel to Orwell's "1984"
Review: I have been fond of the negative utopias for some years - Orwell's "1984" being my favourite. You might imagine theexcitement I felt upon seeing a sequel! At first read of Huber's sequel I was, however, outraged! What gaul to plagerize Orwell as this book does ... until, as I read on, I was dumbfounded to realize that this is *exactly* what Orwell *would* have appreciated - the symetry, the self-reference, the genius of Huber to become his own Winston Smith and rewrite the story is perfect. Huber does, indeed, add his own original touches: by incorporating Orwell's other writings into the work, thus giving us insight into Orwell's evolution and psychology, and more cogently,by updating The Party and Oceania into today's world of political correctness, multiculturalism, the green movement and other frightening signs that Big Brother is alive and well. Huber, however, holds out the hope that the "telescreen" (i.e. the Internet) will be the very tool that undoes the power of Big Brother/Big Government/Intellectual Enslavement that masquerade as today's fashionable causes ( political correctness, eco-green-fascism, and multiculturalism) by providing true freedom of thought, expression and commerce - all anathema to centralized control. David Findley, Jan. 1997

Review: If you liked 1984, you will have to read this book. Don't worry about the price, you will never regret buying this book, no matter how much you pay for it.

It is one of the brilliant works of this decade. So intriguing it went out of print...
