“A book about the possibility that Huxley, not Orwell, was right.”
Huh, now I feel absolutely no need to read the book, because after reading that comic, it seems clear that both authors were onto something, that both predictions have been coming to fruit in the last decade.
A book that would posit that Orwell was wrong is just as silly as a book that would posit that Huxley was wrong.
Speaking of cartoons…
*sigh* I never know where to put links to relevant pop cult stuff…
Anyway, R. Crumb’s adaptation of Genesis (not the band) is being previewed in The New Yorker. http://pwbeat.publishersweekly.com/blog/2009/06/01/first-look-at-crumbs-genesis-in-the-new-yorker/
