When, many years ago, I first read George Orwell's 1984 novel and then, shortly thereafter, Aldous Huxley's "Wonderful New World," I enjoyed, among other things, of the immense distance that, in my naive mind, separates me from the dystopian worlds built by the two masterpieces. They were the joy of one who returns to the morning reality after waking up from a torturous nightmare and the relief of seeing, from the shore of a digestible reality, that the hideous fiction had grown on the other shore, over an insurmountable water. In the shelter of this distance, I often allowed myself the calm of contemplative glances at the immediate, rid of great turmoil and fears, loaded rather with nostalgia, introspection and even the desire for humor. I wrapped these looks and thoughts in several texts from the beginning of this collection, as a serene introduction.

As time went on, however, I realized that, slowly, the distance between the shores is beginning to shrink, and the relationship between reality and dystopia tends to take on the appearance of a friendly but dangerous neighborhood. The discovery of this increasingly visible approach to plans warned me, and most of the articles arranged chronologically in this volume are the expression of genuine disappointments, worries or alarm signals, as the case may be, associated with a predilection for comparative references to fictional universes imagined by Orwell and Huxley.

Motto: Orwell's fear was that the books would be banned. Huxley's fear was that we would live in a time when there would be no reason to ban books, as no one would be interested in reading any. Orwell anticipated that we would be deprived of information. Huxley anticipated that we would be given so much information that we would be reduced to passivity and selfishness. Orwell feared that we would end up living in a time when the truth would be completely hidden from us. Huxley feared the time when the truth would be plunged into an ocean of irrelevance. Orwell was frightened at the thought of becoming a captive culture. Huxley was afraid that we would become a trivial culture (...) marked by an infinite appetite for entertainment (...). In short, Orwell expressed his fear that what we hated would destroy us, and Huxley - that it would ruin what we love.

(Neil Postman, Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business)
