In Brave New World, very few if realistically none actually seek to resist the government. Why? Because they’re perfectly happy. It’s not that they don’t know what to protest, they have nothing to protest. Sure, the protagonist is unhappy, but if you find a system that makes 99% of people happy is having a handful of dissenters so bad? Which obviously in our reality is not the case.

IIRC even Huxley hadn’t really decided if the world in BNW was a dystopia or maybe really more of a utopia after all. Sure, there’s the whole genetically-engineering-people- into-castes (which does sound horrible), but even those people aren’t described as unhappy either.

I’d definitely prefer Huxley over Orwell.

I feel like, right now, we have a lot of Huxley’s prediction, with small amounts of Orwell’s predictions scattered around.
If only more people could be more motivated towards creation of output, other than their jobs (which tend to devour the motivation), the distractions would reduce in power.
