OUT of the Ice Age and into a Brave New World. Written in 1932 by Aldous Huxley. That's the current book of choice and I'll have to see who has attempted to take this onto the cinema screens...perhaps it should be you or me to do so...
On 21 October 1949, Huxley wrote to George Orwell, author of Nineteen Eighty-Four, congratulating Orwell on "how fine and how profoundly important the book is". In his letter to Orwell, he predicted:
"Within the next generation I believe that the world's leaders will discover that infant conditioning and narco-hypnosis are more efficient, as instruments of government, than clubs and prisons, and that the lust for power can be just as completely satisfied by suggesting people into loving their servitude as by flogging them and kicking them into obedience.
