Gary North has an optimistic essay over at LRC.com, with an excellent survey of the three options:
In Brave New World, the tool of control is a drug: soma. It keeps the masses docile. In 1984, it is two-way television. There is no privacy. In Animal Farm, it is widespread belief in the good of the whole, which mandates individual sacrifice. The results are the same: an elite maintains control over the masses. There is no way out.Which of the three became the one the government uses? All three.
