Titanic Post

What Orwell feared were those who would ban books. What Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read one. . . Orwell feared the truth would be concealed from us, Huxley feared the truth would be drowned in a sea of irrelevance. In 1984. . . people are controlled by inflicting pain, in Brave New World they are controlled by inflicting pleasure. In short, Orwell feared that we hate what will ruin us. Huxley feared that what we love will ruin us.
