Aldous Huxley was much closer with Brave New World.

We built Big Brother, bought the damn thing off the shelf, because it kept feeding us a steady diet of Soma and perceived safety.

Yep.  Guy was spot on.  Scary really when you think about it.

Heck, a company even actually named their drug Soma.

Reality is a combination of the worst properties of Orwell's and Huxley's visions.

Orwell predicted the opression of the many by a few due to the few's avarice.
Huxley said no, the many will beg the few to control them due to apathy.

Huxley was closer to the truth.
