We may be a little on this one, but we saw this graphic novel/comic strip today that compares the future predictions of Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World" to George Orwell's "1984." It is pretty damn clever if you ask us.
From what we can tell, it is called "Amusing Ourselves to Death," by Stuart McMillen in 2009. This is our first time seeing this, so apologies if it is already been shown.
What we find that is cool is that we have always subscribed to the Orwellian vision of the future, and although some of Huxley's works are some of our favorites, we didn't always think we were living the "Brave New World."
Consider this to be our understanding:revisted.
