Here's a cute little cartoon on Huxley and Orwell, it is yours to click to read properly. (Well no: click here to view the format most suitable)
The design is creative, delicious and the text put into perspective brilliant thoughts of the two authors.
Both Aldous Huxley, George Orwell described in novels famous for having shaped the history of totalitarian worlds. But the mechanisms of these worlds differ substantially and it is the merit of this comic highlight it so beautifully.
That said, I did not really like 1984. Orwell's satire I prefer the excellent anti Animal Farm.
Why is it that 1984 leaves me cold? Because somehow anticipated by totalitarianism Orwell was made in the USSR. But it is remarkable that this regime has collapsed from the inside specifically to internal causes, spontaneously. Exit therefore the possibility of an end of history as great minds omnipresent dictatorship.
The cartoon also seems to hold accordingly.
The text is by Neil Postman in "Amusing Ourselves to Death", drawing by Stuart McMillen. I shot the image of this last blog I here.
