Hacker News.

relevant webcomic contrasting 1984 and brave new world, which is insightful, but doesn't include the reality that we're literally living in both novels' universes

Give me brave new world all day - it would be vastly preferable to whatever this shit is.

It seems Brave new world is the global north/middle class, 1984 is the global south/working class... With class experience varying by county and over time with a tend towards 1984 experience as the majorities wealth gets extracted by the upper class.

Definitely. A world where people are happy and healthy and live basically fulfilling lives. There are a few fanatics who opt out, and they're unhappy. Go figure.
