Did Huxley or Bradbury write essays about contemporary politics? Orwell wrote some fascinating ones that I think are more worth reading than 1984, and cover much of the same ground. In particular I'd recommend the essays "Second Thoughts on James Burnham" and "You and the Atom Bomb".
- pmoriarty 5y agoThanks for the recommendations. I've started reading "Second Thoughts on James Burnham" and am enjoying it immensely. HN readers would do themselves a favor by just reading it and skipping the predictable arguments in this thread. Here are links to the essays: Second Thoughts on James Burnham - https://www.orwellfoundation.com/the-orwell-foundation/orwell/essays-and-other-works/second-thoughts-on-james-burnham/ https://www.orwellfoundation.com/the-orwell-foundation/orwel...
