Fair New World was originally published in 1994 by Backlash Books. An immediate succès de scandale , it represented the author’s farewell gift to those politically correct universities that were preferentially hiring lesser-qualified women over better-qualified men. Perhaps ironically, Fair New World was soon being enthusiastically embraced by politically incorrect professors of dsytopian literature everywhere.Fair New World is a political and sexual satire, set in 2084. As its title and date imply, it plays changes on both Brave New World and Nineteen Eighty-Four . Fair New World portrays two dystopias, called Feminania and Bruteland, and a utopia called Melior. The narrative affords glimpses of the outrageous institutions within each state, and gradually reveals the secret relations which obtain among them.Fair New World is a savage yet poignant satire of political correctness. It ridicules extremes of gender discrimination and reverse-discrimination alike. It sounds alarms about the dire consequences of politicizing the eternal power struggle between the sexes. Fair New World is a novel both for our time, and for all times.This twentieth anniversary edition of Fair New World features a Foreword by Hardy Orbs, a leading character in the novel, and a perennial thorn in the paw of the political absurdities that pass for remedies in the most “progressive” (that is, degenerate) circles of Western civilization even today.
