Thank you for the clarification, my esteemed professor. You are quite right.
In my opinion, Moros, Huxley, and Orwell (Anglo-Saxons) and Zamyatin (Russian-Slavic) converge in their reflections on power, society, and the individual; they share an ethical concern for human destiny in the face of oppressive systems. In such a way, they profoundly influenced the utopian and dystopian literature very present in science fiction.
Perhaps, indirectly, they drank from the same river (Judeo-Christian ideas) and curiously adopted positions of optimism on the one hand and of naive criticism
to scathing criticism on the other, from the perspective of the fervent theist, the pacifist mystic, the agnostic, and the rationalist atheist. Impressive in every way.
I loved your review and the conversation in this thread.
Heavens no. I'm a dilettante. I look stuff up because I like it. It's relaxing for me, an escape. I really appreciate your comment on the review because now I know stuff I didn't know before. That's what's great about Hive. Different people, different interests, different parts of the world. We come together and 'talk'. Nobody I know in my physical existence wants to have a conversation about dystopian literature :)) Here I can 'discuss' it and someone somewhere might be interested.
Thanks for your feedback, again.
