Brave New World does seem more likely than 1984, IMHO

Brave New World is more prescient because it makes sex and offspring the centerpiece of government control, and from this rearranging it can manipulate humanity in any direction it chooses.
Saint John Paul wasn't kidding, wasn't waxing hyperbolic, when he stated:
As goes the family, so goes the nation, and so goes the world in which we live.

You ain't been paying attention.
We are presently LIVING '1984'.

I read both of these years ago. I thought 1984 was by far better written, in fact it scared the daylights out of me and when I finished it and closed the cover I made a vow that I would never read it again, even if someone held a gun to my head.
But I have come to think that Brave New World was very prescient. And I would be willing to read it again.
And didn’t Brave New World have a somewhat happier ending?
