Brave New World vs Nineteen Eighty-Four featuring Adam Gopnik and Will Self
Intelligence Squared
An Intelligence Squared debate in which Will Self argues for Brave New World and Adam Gopnik for Nineteen Eighty-Four as the better dystopian warning. It includes acted excerpts and is chaired by Jonathan Freedland.
HN recommends it as a good long debate for the recurring question of whether Orwell or Huxley was right.
