Animal Farm 2 continues Animal Farm, George Orwell's 1945 political satire, updating it within a broader context of the

Cold War and its aftermath, with superpowers' environmental movements.

Animal Farm 2 - satirical fiction

The farm is on tropical Caruba, an island controlled by the Social Republic near the Democratic Union, who are in a Cold War with them. Pigs lead an animal rebellion then takeover and ruthlessly exploit the animal workers.

When the farm animals discover coal on the farm and mine it to supply electricity from a power station constructed on the farm, they become embroiled in the superpowers' climate manoeuvring.

When coal mining could be stopped due to global warming fears, the animal workers study climate science and realise that they are victims of world superpower totalitarianism.

They prepare to fight for animal liberation, wanting freedom at any cost.

The satire is humorous with animal characters based on leaders of superpower nations, animal liberation and climate campaigns.

Farm animals investigate philosophies of

climate science within a new paradigm.

ANIMAL FARM 2 (2021)

Pre-publication review by Brad Ahern, Science Educator.

Following Orwell's masterful satire, Animal Farm, Martin Knox continues the story in the aftermath of the Animal Revolution up to modern times, with an insightful account of the progress and difficulties of the Socialist Animal Collective. An action-packed story of farm animals seeking liberation. They mine coal and their work is restricted by bourgeois management and superpower influence. They discover and carefully explain a paradigm shift within climate science. Another prescient and engrossing cautionary fable satirising the threats posed by modern-day totalitarianism and globalism.
