I always believed that what Huxley described in Brave New World was not only more pernicious, but also what was already actually happening.  That’s not to say that more Orwellian forebodings are not/have not been coming to pass, but I fear more people are paying attention to Orwell on the one hand, while completely oblivious to Huxley on the other, precisely because they are already consumed with distractions.
