Fair New World — Lou Tafler

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.
