HARCOVER/SOFTCOVER EDITION: ORWELL'S PREROGATIVE is a collection of short quips about future possibilities, each with its own twist of fate. Enter a future in which video game avatars feel pain, and refuse to play the game. Imagine being kept up all night by the incessant clicking, clacking, and whirring of twenty-four hour digital sex. Discover a world in which eternity has been achieved, and abandoned. Consider the possibility of a totally digital reality, and the regret once it's too late to escape. Entertain the concept that human beings were once a grand experiment that has now lost its luster. Explore a world where the past has been wiped out, and a new regime of total domination has replaced it. Compare the portrait of transcending spiritual sacrifice to the bleak canvas of government enforced obligation. So, when you have some time to kill, try slipping one of these thought-provoking projectiles into the chamber of your brain and see what happens.
