re: Huxley/Brave New World is much more prescient than 1984

Yea
Yeah, I read it again a few years ago, and it is probably a better "call" of what we're facing than Brave New World, though both are pertinent. Winston Smith loved Big Brother at the end, so the notion that 1984 doesn't portray the subjects in a version of Stockholm Syndrome is inaccurate.
My favorite aspect of re-reading 1984 is the Ministry of Truth being located inside a windowless pyramid. Of course, the two main themes are the manipulation of thought through the controlling of words and the monitoring of society through Smart TVs.

No it’s not. I’m convinced most people spouting this haven’t even read 1984
