About this book
In the wake of the Great War, societal norms are challenged in "What Not: A Prophetic Comedy" by Rose Macaulay. This satirical novel explores a dystopian future where the Ministry of Brains governs intellect, reflecting the era's anxieties about authority and human potential. With sharp wit, Macaulay critiques the absurdities of a world obsessed with intelligence, while highlighting the tension between individual freedom and state control. Unique elements such as the absurdity of enforced intelligence and the consequences of bureaucratic oversight resonate throughout the narrative. Ideal for students and civic activists, this thought-provoking work invites readers to question the balance between governance and personal liberty, making it a vital addition to discussions on autonomy and societal values.
