How a power-crazed junta of 20th-century dystopian authors overthrew Western democracy — and what went wrong. In the fourth exciting instalment of the time-travelling adventures of George Orwell and H. G. Wells, 1984's Big Brother himself has appeared before our heroes to relate the story of his rise to power at the head of a team of dystopian visionaries — Ray Bradbury, Margaret Atwood, Aldous Huxley and Yevgeny Zamyatin.

What he finds matches neither his own predictions nor Orwell's – but is surprising, horrifying, and completely untrue.
