If I have to choose between the two I'd go for BNW, but if you won't a better novel about authoritarianism read Demons by Dostoevsky
Cameron Bailey
I think the world as a whole is approaching an Orwellian dystopia while the USA is more Huxlean.
Noah Kelly
>Demons
>authoritarianism
Care to elaborate?
Angel Edwards
Both are garbage
Nicholas Bennett
1984 is complete shit so BNW wins by default

Orwell was the best guy ever.

Why?

1984 is written better, but BNW is the way our world is shifting to today.
Julian Reed
this. Orwell was the better storyteller, but Huxley's ideas are more interesting
Robert Martin
>P.C. culture
>not Orwellian
the rest of the world is just lagging, we're all going towards the Huxlean dystopia. The Orwellian is just the first step in that transition.

DFW's IJ future is closest
Tyler Torres
They're both mediocre, but I prefer 1984
BNW has some neat ideas but the characters and prose are shit and its ideas aren't explored enough, once I was done with it I was glad it was over.
Oliver Evans
>implying the characters and prose of BNW are inferior to those of 1984
As someone who doesn't use the word often, this is the most p l e b thing I've ever read

Huxley = more prescient
Orwell = better novelist
Noah Wood
They are, but not by much. It's not like 1984's characters are fucking outstanding. As said, both books are mediocre.
Joseph Jenkins
BNW has the worst prose of any 'classic' i've read
Zachary Long
Logan Perez
Seriously, I don't even like 1984 all that much but the Orwell's prose is leagues above Huxley's.
Oliver Hughes
The world is moving towards both at the same time.

asia/africa are the whole world and social media is the SOLE factor of communication

No.Most people shit on all of higher knowledge.They don't care.

1984. BNW second. The best dystopian work is the protocols of the learned elders of Zion. But you knew that already.
Isaac Jones
