The other day, a bunch of people were linking to this really cool cartoon that showed the differences between the varied Dystopian visions of George Orwell (1984) and Aldous Huxley (Brave New World). It highlighted how Orwell feared we’d become prodded by fear, versus Huxley’s alarm we’d be led by pleasure to our own enslavement. For the life of me, I can’t figure out why this same idea popped back into my head…

I know it wouldn’t work so well for a book…
but in reality, what keeps someone from using *both*?
Heh, almost forget about Orwell’s books. 1984 is such a masterpiece…
Bumped into twitter’s word limit, eh? 🙂
