Kirk, Pauline
Entry updated 12 September 2022. Tagged: Author.
(? - ) UK poet and author of The Keepers (1996), a Dystopia set in a Near Future UK run by the eponymous Keepers on lines mildly evocative of George Orwell's Nineteen Eight-Four (1949), with fairly rife regimentation and some brainwashing. But a dissident group imports a virus into the Keeper's central Computer and the old regime collapses quickly. [JC]
