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.
