"In 1984, Orwell [said that] people are controlled by inflicting pain. In Brave New World, they are controlled by inflicting pleasure. In short, Orwell feared that what we fear will ruin us. Huxley feared that what we desire will ruin us." - Neil Postman, "Amusing Ourselves to Death" (Huxley = 1, Orwell = 0)
