I found this comparison of the writings of George Orwell (1984) to Aldous Huxley (Brave New World) to be interesting:
 Are we on a path towards 1984 or Brave New World? |

What irony I just finished reading both those book for school
I like how 1984 showed rebellion against their society (with sex) as for brave new world they used it to keep away from individualism by telling people to be intimate with many partners (like jogging), but man was brave new world out of there :p drugs and orgys |
