A good contrast of the views of George Orwell (1984) and Aldous Huxley (Brave New World). I had known Orwell's stance but not Huxley's, even though I read BNW in high school. Basically, Orwell thought that what we feared would destroy us, while Huxley said what we loved would destroy us. I guess I'm more of a Huxley person, but if you lived in North Korea and you had the least bit of intellect, you'd probably be more in line with Orwell's opinions.

(This person is kinda upset that I dissed their favorite browser. I actually use Chrome and I like it, but for some reason the layout here is different than on Firefox. And of course, the iPad and IE just plain suck. You tool.)
