MetalGearRiki 03/30/18 6:50:25 PM #28:	I feel like they are both relevant today. 1984 is about surveillance, loss of rights and free speech, people being forced to submit due to fear and pain, dumbing down of language, censorship.. Brave New World is about getting lost in pleasures and desire, too much information being consumed at once, and abuse of science They are both equally relevant pieces, just for different parts of the world.
