The first is a sharp analysis: through dialogues, parodies, and essays, Burgess sheds new light on what he called 'an apocalyptic codex of our worst fears', creating a critique that is literature in its own right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePart two is Burgess' own dystopic vision, written in 1978. He skewers both the present and the future, describing a state where industrial disputes and social unrest compete with overwhelming surveillance, security concerns, and the dominance of technology to make life a thing to be suffered rather than lived.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTogether these two works form a unique guide to one of the twentieth century's most talented, imaginative, and prescient writers. Several decades later, Burgess' most singular work still stands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46710120546540,"sku":"9781846689192","price":27.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/13619373482845.jpg?v=1754128388","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/products\/1985-by-anthony-burgess-9781846689192","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
