Orwell vs. Huxley

Amusing Ourselves to Death by Neil Postman is one of my favorite books and shows the outcome of society taken captive by amusement. Check out this comic series that compares Orwellian vs. Huxlean futures. At the end is a link to listen to Neil Postman talk about technology and society.

Enjoy is not a proper reaction to Postman's work. How 'bout, "Be thoughtful!"
