Do your own homework.

Huxley seems more likely to actually happen,but orwell's world has more character imo.

I always thought Orwell's dystopia in 1984 seemed more "in your face"

while Huxley's had a more subtle approach to it

The ironic things about "Brave New World" is that Huxley states in the preface that after the chaos of the 1920's? he actually thinks the world in the book is a type of utopia.

Modern commentators have called it a dystopia, and the protagonist in the book rejects the world thinking that it is a dystopia. However, Huxley must mean this ironically. Although when I read it I didnt get this impression REEEEEEEEEEE

His comments in his preface have confused me ever since

Sinclair Lewis

The interesting thing about Orwell's depiction, it could be considered a utopia for some. Chew on that for awhile .

I see the dystopian aspect of BNW, but it is as close to a utopia as we are likely to get. Everyone is happy, and those who aren't have the option to go to the res or to the island to be with other dissenters. I mean, freedom of thought isn't a priority in their society, but most people are living in peace, despite the social dynamic.

I know it's a joke, but it bugs me when people say that this is a dystopian book. Isn't the premise of a dystopia supposed to be that it appears as though it is a utopia? Maybe it is for people in the capital, but there isn't any facade over how shitty it is for people in the districts.

it's pretty good, but I feel 1984 is the better book

Freedom of thought in general is not a priority in any society. It's just common sense from a biological perspective. In any community most people are working hand. They don't need or have to think too hard about things to be happy.

But brave new world describes a utopia in some sense. We all have a purpose, we all have a place. We don't get sick or ill, or even old, and sex is casual.
