Summary
Welcome to a bonus episode of Really True Fiction. Those with a keen eye will have noticed that our last two episodes were on 1984 and Brave New World. So, for a bonus, Dan and I do a bit of a compare and contrast between them; seeing as they are both very famous and of a similar ouevre. In this bonus episode we talk about:

1984 being a better novel, sociopathic vs. beaurocratic evil, what is a more realistic villainy, the ennui of BNW, 1984 as a society that has actually been achieved in history, media/art/culture portrayals as more accurate in BNW, 1984 as more insightful on the manipulation of language, the different takes on hedonism, speaking as indecipherable from thinking, blasphemy, and which world we find more bleak.

Thanks for listening to this mini-adventure into classic dystopia!
