I read both BNW and 1984 in sixth grade. Looking back, Huxley's view of the future was way more accurate
1984: war is exported abroad to keep the state well funded and the population afraid without actually damaging the state's internal territories (US wars in the Middle East)
BNW: Human social connections broken down in favor of easy to control tansient casual sex. Old age is so stigmatized most young people can't even imagine being old
This last point especially terrifies me. So many people my age I know have no conception they will live past 30. I think Huxley's vision of the future is way more accurate than Orwell's
