No big brother is required to deprive people of their autonomy, maturity, and history. As he saw it, people will come to love their oppression, to adore the technologies that undo their capacities to think. What Orwell feared were those who would ban books. What Huxley feared was there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read one.

Huxley feared we'd become a trivial culture, preoccupied with some equivalent of the feelies, the orgy-porgy, and the centrifugal bumble puppy. As Huxley remarked in Brave New World Revisited, the civil liberties and rationalists who were ever on the alert to prose tyranny failed to take into account man's almost infinite appetite for distractions.

It really is. Whether it be the perspective of government, whether it be the perspective of these multi-trillion dollar tech companies that hit their earnings and please Wall Street by ever having our attention. The setup we have right now with computers is we're passive. They control us. They dominate our lives. They stimulate us. They keep us away from actually thinking. Because guess what?
