I always thought it was going to be Brave New World, but nah, it's predictable ol' 1984. How lame.

    Basically, Orwell believed the future would be an ordinary fascist dystopia, without freedom or prosperity, with every thought and action controlled by the government. A society of absolute domination (imagine if the USSR and China had a baby). Huxley (Brave New World) believed the dystopian future would consist of people being controlled via pleasure, apathy, drugs etc. I.E late stage Roman Empire, but more sci fi.
