{"product_id":"1985-anthony-burgess","title":"1985 by Anthony Burgess","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn characteristically daring style, Anthony Burgess combines two responses to Orwell's \u003ci\u003e1984\u003c\/i\u003e in one book. 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\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\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","brand":"Oxfordbookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44791279026355,"sku":"9781846689192","price":740.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/4164\/4723\/files\/blk_imp_17478132659781846689192.jpg?v=1762855429","url":"https:\/\/oxfordbookstore.com\/products\/1985-anthony-burgess","provider":"Oxfordbookstore ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
