Would you rather live in 'Brave New World' or '1984'?

Huxley's novel is chiefly a critique of the socialist policies that states had begun to advocate in the early twentieth century. Huxley, by 1932, had observed the increasing tendency of Western government to intrude upon people's lives. This intrusion, he believed, limited the expression of freedom and beauty that is integral to the human character. Through Brave New World and his other writings, he suggested that beauty is a result of pain and that society's desire to eliminate pain limits society's ability to thrive culturally and emotionally.

"Brave New World" takes credit with Orwell's "1984" for advancing a new genre of literature that fuses science fiction, political allegory, and literary ambition.

brave new world- being killed and unpersoned sounds a lot worse than going to live on some island

Obviously Brave New World, yeah it might be a "false happiness" but it beats getting your humanity taken away. Living in 1984 would be constant misery, or you'll cease to be yourself

Brave new world…

Obviously Jesus Christ, it’s not even a dystopia really.
