a great many books devoted to changing the way that people think about the world. Between the Bible to the textbooks found in every university library‚ books have been written to teach us about the way the world works‚ and how we should see it. There have also been many books written to intellectually remove people from the real world‚ and temporarily place them in more endearing or more interesting worlds. Brave New World‚ while a science fiction at it’s core‚ is not a book to keep you entertained

When you look these two books you can tell there are major differences between these two books. In 1984 by George Orwell we are presented with a world that is run by hate and controlled and oppressed by a figure of power named Big Brother. In Brave New World by Aldous Huxley we are introduced to a world run by pleasure and happiness‚ where there is oppression‚ but the people are too blind to see it. In both books there is a major connection‚ both make the point that a society can be run on any emotion
