George Orwell's letter from his former French teacher, Aldous Huxley, about Nineteen Eighty-Four

LSD is a hell of a drug

I always thought that 1984 and brave new world are both correct, one depicts total control of society by total represion of the natural instincts and the other by total hedonism

Both have been tried, but it seems that current western society is closer to Huxley’s vision. It requires less effort and generates more wealth for the ruling caste
