The premise of Neil Postman's classic societal critique Amusing Ourselves to Death is that Aldous Huxley's dystyopian vision, as put forth in his book Brave New World, better reflects the reality of modern-day America than does George Orwell's nightmare society depicted in his classic 1984.

The validity of this claim will be the subject of a later blog post, but for now click here for an excellent visual depiction of Postman's take on the difference between Orwell's and Huxley's prophecies. It's produced by an artist named Stuart McMillen.
