The Napoleon Of Notting Hill	comment	Set in 1984, London has barely advanced in terms of technology and class system since the beginning of the 20th century. Except for one thing —the King of England is now chosen randomly among the United Kingdom's population.Written by G. K. Chesterton in 1904, The Napoleon of Notting Hill is one of the Dystopian novels that inspired Nineteen Eighty-Four.

The Napoleon Of Notting Hill / int_1effdd6b	type	White Man's Burden
The Napoleon Of Notting Hill / int_1effdd6b	comment	White Man's Burden: An inversion is discussed. The narration ponders that nobody ever thinks that the white person needs to learn some stuff from their underprivileged charge in order to successfully tutor them. It ought to be a symbiosis, with both parties getting benefitted. Unfortunately, the whites don't have open minds and don't expand their own knowledge because they deem other cultures as inferior.

The Napoleon Of Notting Hill / int_3566c15d	comment	You Are Who You Eat: An extreme British nationalist who preaches cannibalism of non-British people discovers, to his horror, that this trope is true, and therefore he is now slowly turning into an Italian organ-grinder — which is apparently the only type of edible foreigner he could find in London.

The Napoleon Of Notting Hill / int_393ec3f9	type	Zeerust
The Napoleon Of Notting Hill / int_393ec3f9	comment	Zeerust: The prologue Lampshades this by pointing how any speculation about the future will be obsolete because children will always grow up to do something entirely different than what the adults predicted. So any futurism will feel dated sooner rather than later.

The Napoleon Of Notting Hill / int_4921aad7	comment	Expanded States of America: In the first chapter we meet the exiled President of Nicaragua, which was conquered by the USA, and was apparently the last Latin American country to be overrun. This may also qualify as a Space-Filling Empire.

The Napoleon Of Notting Hill / int_bb40e7e0	comment	Failed Future Forecast: The narration claims that this will always happen because children like to go contrary to what the wise, adult people say. So, when the children grow up, the now elderly or deceased adults' predictions will fail. The children up and went to do something else.

The Napoleon Of Notting Hill / int_c6ae3121	type	Modern Stasis
The Napoleon Of Notting Hill / int_c6ae3121	comment	Modern Stasis: The '80s are exactly like the present of circa 1900 (when the book was written). There are a few social changes (all small nations have been annexed by one of a handful of Great Powers, Britain is ruled by something close to a total despotism with the despot appointed at random off an alphabetical list, etc), but there has been zero technological progress. Justified in the foreword where Chesterton explains a game played by humanity called "Cheat The Prophet", in which the common men listen to what the clever men say the next generation will be like, then go and do something else: since the only thing nobody in the 1900s had guessed was that nothing would change, nothing did.

Belatedly effective in the final chapter years later, when the Notting Hillers have received Wayne’s vision, and transformed their shops accordingly.
