I think those of you who enjoy the contest between the two dystopian views will enjoy this short video.  Not only is it eerily narrated by Huxley himself, prescient on so many details of our current culture it makes me wonder about other aspects of Huxley’s vision.  However, I believe the artist’s version of the story told on the drawing board is also fascinating. 

I hope others appreciate the perspective on the Huxley/Orwell comparison as a merger and will comment on how very well the artist managed to illustrate Huxley’s meaning with modern symbols of our servitude.  With Huxley’s calm, detached narrative in the background, the artist sketches some very meaningful scenes and commentary to illustrate and correlate his words with current events. For example, this is the screen view at 6:15 is a good example of how the artist presents the merger of the two, with an electronic gadget imprisoning the willing.

Please take the time to think about this merger of the two dystopian worldviews as the same, but from a slightly different point of view.
