Huxley vs Orwell

Amusing Ourselves to Death cartoon

This is a very good comparison of the two authors, and I think each viewpoint is equally important. My conclusion would be slightly different, in that I think Orwell imagined that we would resist to the bitter end, and Huxley thought we would fall like a house of cards. In a way, Orwell was the more optimistic of the two.
