Bücher aus meinem SF-Regal:

Sollte ich wohl nach über 40 Jahren wohl auch mal wieder lesen.

• Aldous Huxley - Schöne neue Welt
Hier meine alte Fischer TB Ausgabe von 1980 noch mit der „speziellen“ von Herberth Herlitschka

• George Orwell - 1984
Da mein altes TB von 1981 weg ist, hier die 2006er Ulstein Ausgabe mit der Neu-Übersetzung von Michael Walther

-The US Is the only country that offers Citizenship (about 30 other countries do as well) etc. etc.

It always appears that they are not only those who attack it openly and consciously, but those who ‘objectively’ endanger it by spreading mistaken . In other words, defending democracy involves destroying all of thought"
