"Well before 1984 five national governments have been succeeded by a 'socialist' administration which proves an extremely shabby and brutal dictatorship." - Gerber, Utopian Fantasy (1973), p. 162. "Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland having gone their own way, England has sleepwalked into dictatorship. Non-white immigrants have been deported, the Times is the only newspaper and internment camps, one of which will soon be Watt’s new home, are everywhere. (Even more sinisterly, for those who believe nothing bad could ever happen to John Lewis, Peter Jones is now a military HQ.) Raymond’s occasionally implausible plot sometimes struggles under the weight of its own ambition and his narrative is, be warned, unrelievedly bleak." - article in The Guardian online by Rachel Cooke, 26 July, 2016. The author wrote a series of crime novels using the pseudonym Derek Raymond.
