I've never understood why people insist on weighing up these two books in this way. It's not like either was published with the subtitle, "THIS BOOK DIRECTLY DEPICTS WHAT WILL ACTUALLY BE HAPPENING A FEW DECADES FROM NOW"

Fahrenheit 491

We are living in a dystopia, the sooner you accept this the better.

why fahrenheit fren? it looks to me like they try to flood us with pulp like in ABNW and keep the 1984 shit as low profile as possible, only used for "cleanup" to hide what we are not allowed to see.

1984 is a (much) better book, Brave New World is closer to reality

i wish they made a decent movie about either dystopian book. so that it will reach plebs as well. but i guess it's not in line with ABNW kek

I mean yeah, but the upper and middle classes are outliers in this case. The bulk of the population will likely just experience 1984.
