“We have no need of other worlds.
We need mirrors. We don't know what to do with other worlds.
A single world, our own, suffices us; but we can't accept it for what it is.”
Utterly alien, yet so entirely human. Beautiful novel.
1984
George Orwell, 1948
Even if an overcited classic, it's becoming more relevant with time...
Brave New World
Aldous Huxley, 1932
More probable than Orwell's dystopia.
Terrifying depiction of hedonism
as an alternative to a valuable life,
also progressively more relevant.
We need mirrors. We don't know what to do with other worlds. A single world, our own, suffices us; but we can't accept it for what it is.”
