Finished reading Brave New World, which I picked up after hearing about it in relation to Orson Welles’ 1984. – The setting is scarily accurate, and the notion of ‘hiding in plain sight’ is something I hadn’t considered in the larger context of… well… population/mind/opinion control? – The writing itself goes from excellent to rather bad, the story telling is so thin at times, it gets really boring (which I take Mr Huxley also figured as shown in his post-factum foreword (1947)). Overall worth the read, because thought provoking.
