"I think that allowing for the book being after all a parody, something like 1984 could actually happen. This is the direction the world is going in
at the present time. In our world, there will be no emotions except fear, rage, triumph, and self-abasement. The sex instinct will be eradicated. We
shall abolish the orgasm. There will be no loyalty, except loyalty to the party, but always there will be the intoxication of power. Always at every
moment, there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless. If you want a picture of the future, imagine a
boot stamping on a human face forever. The moral to be drawn from this dangerous nightmare situation is a simple one. Don’t let it happen. It
depends on you."
~George Orwell, Last Words
“There will be, in the next generation or so, a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude, and producing dictatorship without
tears, so to speak, producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away
from them, but will rather enjoy it, because they will be distracted from any desire to rebel by propaganda or brainwashing, or brainwashing enhanced
by pharmacological methods. And this seems to be the final revolution”
~Aldous Huxley
