Even scarier and more relevant than “1984”

is Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World. In it, he shows the dangers of mass media control over citizenry, citizens’ preference for ignorance and subservience to dictatorships (thereby losing personal freedom), the pervasiveness of narcotics and stimulants like drugs and alcohol, how much science and technology influence our lives, society’s obsession with the pursuit of pleasure and happiness, the dangers of social controls relative to personal autonomy and freedom, industrialism and limitless consumption.
