"But in Huxley's (Brave New World) vision, no Big Brother (Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four) is required to deprive people of their autonomy, maturity and history. As he saw it, people will come to love their oppression, to adore the technologies that undo their capacities to think."

Neil Postman, Amusing Ourselves to Death, 1985.

People laugh at me when I point out that Brave New Worldis the real dystopia and 1984 is baby steps, but I can't help that I'm right.
