Interesting. I think I'll give it a go. I'm working in a min audio book version of 1984, and it seems quite weak (Orwell was just stretching out the reality of th Soviet Union into the future, and he wasn't the only one to do it). I have higher hopes for this book 'cause it seems that Huxley really glimpsed a future other people didn't.

Brave New World is a better predictor insofar as how a complacent populace can be controlled be exploiting their vices.
1984 turned out to be pretty accurate for the government telling you not to believe your own lying eyes and it working on a scale unimaginable.
