The astute reader of the above passage written by Aldous Huxley with regard to George Orwell will more than likely recognize a deeply sardonic under-current. “Within the next generation I believe that the world's leaders will discover that infant conditioning and narcohypnosis are more efficient, as instruments of government (control), than (are) 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.” These are the words of Aldous Huxley (October 21, 1949) penned in a letter congratulating George Orwell for his authorship of the widely circulated book, Nineteen Eighty-Four: Orwell & Huxley Warned of Pavlov’s Social Control by Designer Science
