I used to think that Brave New World was scarier and a more likely outcome but since the 'war on terror' has been declared suddenly 1984 now seems to be an equal future (continuous warfare, citizens encouraged to spy on others, constant monitoring via cctv, newspeak, historic revisionism -- vs -- medicated society, poisoning of the lower classes, yadda,yadda,yadda)
If only ignorance were painful....
