If you havent read it yet, I'd suggest you to read Huxley's Brave New World, as opposed to 1984.

Given it was written in 1932 it surprisingly exposes present-day concerns.




1984 has a lot to teach, and you could argue we've not learned them as history is rewritten, thoughts outlawed and truth redefined by our politicians and media.

But I'd agree that BNW has more to teach us about today - lots of us are losing/have lost the ability to think much beyond our next pleasurable experience.
