wow, that's a great find! very true!
Ain't it though? I liked it because the compare and contrast really brings to light how much more relevant Huxley's warnings are today. Everyone always talks about "Orwellian" mechanisms of government - to the point where everyone is on the look out for them now - but in many ways the things that Huxley writes about (i.e., luxury being a more dangerous opiate for the masses, etc.) is much more insidious.
