Read the wikipedia summary:
It's interesting how the Author predicted the Islamification of Britain in 1978.
A lot of the stuff is very dated in hindsight. The idea that teaching would become overly focused on practicality is the opposite of what's happened, where too much of what we learn is pure theory.
I also find it funny that Burgess projected his political enemies into the role of big brother. He made the trade unions the villain of the book, and the muslims as a side antagonist. That's something I've noted happens a lot with Orwell, to the left the right is big brother, to the right the left is.
Since my original guess was somewhat close to what the book really is, I decided to post a picture of George Costanza with a non-smug demeanor

What's the literary equivalent of Seinfeld?

You know what I mean. A book about nothing, predicated on absurd misunderstandings. Preferably at least a thousand pages. Ideally, like, a couple times more than that.

Thanks.
