I just finished reading this amazing book, ‘Amusing Ourselves to Death’ by Neil Postman that compares both Orwell’s 1984 with Huxley’s Brave New World. His conclusion from the beginning was that Huxley was correct in his prediction of the future and that television is the driving force to make people to be more and more uneducated. This short book was written in 1985 and yet, still stands the test of time. #books #neilpostman #huxley #orwell #bookstodon @bookstodon
