I don't disagree with that. 1984 is about a government beating citizens into submission with fear and terror. While not as dark and violent, Brave New World is actually MORE sinister, being about a manipulative government who's genetically bred the desire for freedom out of people and gives them feel-good medication to keep them dumb and happy. Between the two, that's the more likely direction we're headed in.

I previously reviewed Brave New World on FR, as well. Click here if you're interested in reading it.

Excellent book! And a far more likely future dystopia then 1984!

Hah I actually posted on your Brave New World thread, saying pretty much the same thing I said here. I usually at least click on the sci-fi threads about books. Very good review with analysis as how it might apply to our current culture.
