Aldous Huxley, Author Of Brave New World, Speaking At The University Of California Berkeley In 1962, In Which He Admits That Dystopic Novels “Brave New World” And “1984″ Were Not Just Fiction, But Blueprints For Two Types Of Controlled And Enslaved Societies.

Huxley Outlines His Vision For The 'Ultimate Revolution', A Scientific Dictatorship Where People Will Be Conditioned To Enjoy Their Servitude, And Will Pose Little Opposition To The 'Ruling Oligarchy', As He Puts It. He Also Takes A Moment To Compare His Book, "Brave New World," To George Orwell's "1984" And Considers The Technique In The Latter Too Outdated For Actual Implementation.

"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 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."
