1984 by George Orwell and Brave New World by Aldous Huxley are two of the most famous and influential dystopian novels ever written. Both books depict a future world in which individual freedom and privacy are subordinated to the demands of a totalitarian state, and citizens are manipulated and controlled through technology, propaganda, and social conditioning. The two novels have often been compared and contrasted, and both are considered to be among the most important works of literature of the 20th century.

There is simply no A-Z like the alphabet of fiction writers who have appeared in the pages of The New Yorker in the last hundred years.

Some stories defined a moment or a now-lost world (Isaac Bashevis Singer’s “The Cafeteria”); others showed us a whole new way fiction could sound and feel (“The Red Girl,” by Jamaica Kincaid).

After his almost fatal experience on the exoplanet Erid-34, Dr. Neil Jackson wakes up out of a 10-year coma and finds himself in a strange room on Earth. He has very little memory of what happened to him on Erid-34, but he desperately wants to remember. The doctor overseeing his condition, Dr. Sigmund Kline, tries to help him fill in those blanks in his memory. But when NASA officials demand a conference with Neil at NASA Headquarters in Washington D.C., things take a turn for the worse.

Joyce Carol Oates assembles an outstanding cast of authors—including Margaret Atwood, Tananarive Due, and Megan Abbott—to explore, subvert, and reinvent one of the most vital subgenres of horror.

Dr. Neil Jackson had just gotten through discovering that he's been on the exoplanet Erid-34 the entire time as part of an earthling zoo exhibit. His girlfriend, Cindy Burnett, is still alive, but she has been brainwashed into following the orders of the evil alien Dr. Sigmund Kline. Now Sigmund wants to erase Neil's memory, too, and reprogram him to help the people of Erid-34 destroy everyone on Earth, so they can take over the planet. But the power of the love Neil shares with Cindy helps restore his memory as well as hers.

That is why I chose to write these stories." -- Theodore Dalrymple
