    A Brave New World by Aldous Huxley has many of the same basic ideas as 1984 by George Orwell‚ but the two are more different than alike. In both books a totalitarian government is in complete control of the people‚ but A Brave New World shows a more positive side of this type of government than does 1984. 1984 doesn’t show any good things that have come out of having this form of government‚ and is a warning of what can happen if people stop thinking for themselves and don’t question the government
