Aldous Huxley was a better prophet than George Orwell.

It is Brave New World we are sliding into, not 1984.

"Aldous Huxley was a better prophet than George Orwell. It is Brave New World we are sliding into, not 1984."

I've been thinking the same thing for years, but maybe the two ideas aren't opposites, but different phases of the same process. Maybe it starts out with Brave New World seduction, and ends in 1984 terror.
