О дивном новом мире

А вы в каком мире будущего (из описанных в литературе или показанных в кино) хотели бы жить?

Colm Toibin, "The Master"

- If there were a war between Great Britain and the United States, Mr. James, where would your loyalty lie? - Webster asked him during a lull in the conversation after dinner.
- My loyalty would lie in making peace between them.
- And what if that should fail? - Webster asked.
- I happen to know the answer. - Lady Wolseley interrupted. - Mr. James would find out which side France was on and he would join that side.
- But in Mr. James's story about Agatha Grice, his American loathes England and he has the most horrible things to say about us. - Webster spoke loudly so that the entire table now paid attention. - I think he has a case to answer, - Webster continued.
Henry looked across the table at Webster whose cheeks were reddened by the heat of the room, and whose eyes were bright with excitement at holding the table like this, managing the conversation.
- Mr. Webster, - Henry said quietly, when he was sure that the young man had finally finished, - I witnessed a war and I saw the injuries and the damage done. My own brother came close to death in the American Civil War. His injuries were unspeakable. I do not, Mr. Webster, speak lightly of war.
- Hear, hear, - Lord Wolseley said. - Well spoken!
- I merely asked Mr. James a simple question, - Webster said.
- And he provided you with a very simple answer which you seem to have trouble comprehending. - Lord Wolseley said.
