So here's the classic late night question as the last rounds are being ordered ... If you HAD to live in one of these nightmare scenarios, which one would it be? And why? Would you choose to live in the world projected by Aldous Huxley or in the world projected by George Orwell?
Both are dystopian nightmare scenarios, and there are elements of both worlds that are becoming frightening realities today. This is no coincidence. The Fabians are working tirelessly to fulfill their collectivist dream.
Just a fun poll. Leave your comments below. Also, here's a link to Huxley's letter to Orwell that was written in 1949. Curiously, their paths had crossed years before when Huxley was Orwell's French teacher at Eton College.

And I'll also include a link to a speech that Huxley gave at Berkley in 1961 in which he admits that dystopic novels " 'Brave New World' and '1984' were not just fiction, but blueprints for two types of controlled and enslaved societies. "
