Brave New World/Brave New World Revisited

Goodreads Review:

I prefer Brave New World to 1984. The story is much more gripping than Orwell's classic. That said, the "resisted" part of the book seemed a bit too-self congratulatory. Huxley's analysis and emphasis on over-population sort of overwhelms his message at times. However, his critique of Big Business and Big Government controlling too much power and influence for a democracy to thrive in is prophetic and his notions of a non-violent totalitarian state seems entirely plausible in the early 21st century.
