David Karp's novel chronicles the fate of Burden, a seemingly loyal professor who is identified by the government's secret security apparatus as harbouring dangerously non-conformist thoughts. What follows is a razor-sharp psychological thriller that details the state's relentless, methodical campaign to break down and remake a single human mind. Written with biting satirical wit and a deeply unsettling prescience, the novel stands as a powerful argument against the dangers of absolute conformity and state control. Praised as a brilliant piece of satirical and prophetic writing, it ranks alongside Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four as a landmark of mid-century dystopian literature.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48888002150619,"sku":"2026200009268-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/3f9c5a09-c8d4-4ad1-b3d6-17a1a3bb5475.png?v=1781752188","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200009268-secondhand-one","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
