I do too much for you illiterates.

1984 had better prose and writing on a micro level, but the premise and predictions of BNW were better.

Yes we saw this picture too. The answer is Huxley's. You can thank Israel.

this Is a great infographic to start. Also I feel that Brave New World is a great accompaniment to One Dimensional Man, and the philosophy of Herbert Marcuse in general. If you ever get a chance read that book. It's a bit preachy and repetetive and kinda difficult to get through on first read, but it proposes an amazing social and economic theory of modern industrial society and it's shortcomings. To quote Rousseau, "man is born free and everywhere he is in chains".

I've been thinking about 1984 a lot lately. When you think about it, it really wasn't a theoretical society or anything, it was this man's prediction for the future and it only had a few inaccuracies, if there's any we can judge. It's like somebody's prediction today for 2030. Today the untouchable rich "the enemies" are jewish people, except the proposed enemy of state is osama bin laden who nobody ever sees. Today is really a balanced mix between brave new world and 1984.

I have a picture to show you friend.

I prefer 1984. More rich and more coherent. Huxley himself said his book was philosophically imperfect.

Brave New World is indeed closer to the current society than 1984, but the two are right in their own way.

This OP. Orwell's world terrifies you, if only because it could come true, though not as you know it.

Huxley > Orwell

>In addition to the inaccurate imagery, and stereotype views, the text lacks literary value which is relevant to today's contemporary multicultural society.

Enjoy using the losing medium, fags?
