Only correct answer.

(A contemporary British intelligence operativeturned-author, Anthony Burgess, wrote Clockwork Orange in the
Wells-Orwell-Huxley tradition as a pornographic celebration of
the drug-rock counterculture.)
Under Wells's tutelage Huxley was first introduced to Aleister
Crowley (see Part II, Section 9). Crowley was a product of the
cultist circle that developed in Britain from the 1860s under the
guiding influence of Edward Bulwer-Lytton — who, it will be
recalled, was the colonial minister under Lord Palmerston
during the Second Opium War. In 1886, Crowley, William Butler
Yeats, and several other Bulwer-Lytton proteges formed the IsisUrania Temple of Hermetic Students of the Golden Dawn. This
Isis Cult was organized around the 1877 manuscript Isis Unveiled
by Madame Helena Blavatsky, in which the Russian occultist
called for the British aristocracy to organize itself into an Isis
Priesthood.

Crowley in turn initiated Aldous Huxley into the Isis-Golden
Dawn Temple and introduced him to psychedelic drugs in
1929. (7)
In 1937, Huxley moved to the United States, where he remained
throughout the period of World War II. Through a Los Angeles
contact, Jacob Zeitlin, Huxley and pederast Christopher Isherwood were employed as script writers for MGM, Warner
Brothers, and Walt Disney studios. As we have seen, Hollywood
was already dominated by organized crime elements bankrolled
and controlled through London. Joseph Kennedy was the front
man for a British consortium that created RKO studios, and
"Bugs" Siegel, the West Coast boss of the Lansky syndicate, was
heavily involved in Warner Brothers and MGM.

Huxley was instrumental in founding a nest of Isis cults in
southern California and in a San Francisco suburb called Ojai —
which consisted exclusively of several hundred deranged worshippers of Isis and other cult gods. (8) Isherwood, during the
California period, translated and propagated a number of ancient
Zen Buddhist documents, inspiring Zen-mystical cults along the
way. (9)
In effect, Huxley and Isherwood (joined soon afterwards by
Thomas Mann and his daughter Elisabeth Mann Borghese) laid

the foundation during the late 1930s and the 1940s for the later
LSD culture by recruiting a core of "initiates" into the Tsis cults
that Huxley's mentors Bulwer-Lytton, Blavatsky, and Crowley,
had constituted while stationed in India.

bnw had more lively characters while Winston was boring and sad. the characters reflected their setting

LSD: "visitation from the gods"
The next phase in the war involved the introduction of LSD for
which Aldous Huxley was the designated Crown agent.
Lycergic acid diethylamide, or LSD, was developed in 1943 by
Albert Hoffman, a chemist at Sandoz A.G. — a Swiss pharmaceutical house owned by S. G. Warburg. While precise
documentation is unavailable as to the auspices under which the
LSD research was commissioned, it can be safely assumed that
British intelligence and its subsidiary U.S. Office of Strategic
Services were directly involved. Allen Dulles, the director of the
U.S. Central Intelligence Agency in 1952 when that agency began
its covert LSD experiment, MK-ULTRA, was the OSS station
chief in Berne, Switzerland throughout the early Sandoz
research. One of his OSS assistants was James Warburg, of the
same Warburg family, who was instrumental in the 1963 founding
of the Institute for Policy Studies, and worked with both Huxley
and Robert Hutchins

The Giver is overlooked sometimes. In that, there is a part after the main character starts seeing in color and noticed his best friend actually had red hair. He remarks in the book that the upper elites must hate that and have been trying to breed traits like that out altogether for generations.
In that dystopia they fought to make everyone the same, and also to sanitize everything. No one remembered their extremely positive or negative experiences at all with the objective of making everyone the same. I see parallels to this in the modern system all the time.
1984 and Brave New World are great for showing off the dystopian genre but I wish I could have a much more in depth conversation involving all the other ones too with someone.

In 1952, Aldous Huxley returned to the United States from
Britain, accompanied by Dr. Humphrey Osmond, the Huxleys'
private physician. Osmond had been part of a discussion group
Huxley had organized at the National Hospital, Queens Square,
London. Along with another seminar participant, J. R. Smythies,
Osmond wrote Schizophrenia: A New Approach, in which he
asserted that mescaline — a derivative of peyote mushrooms
used in ancient Egyptian and Indian pagan rites — produced a
psychotic state identical in all clinical respects to schizophrenia.
On this basis, Osmond and Smythies advocated experimentation
with hallucinogenic drugs as a means of developing a "cure" for
mental disorders.

Osmond was brought in by Allen Dulles to play a prominent
role in MK-ULTRA. At the same time, Osmond, Huxley, and the
University of Chicago's Robert Hutchins held a series of secret
planning sessions in 1952-53 for a second, private LSD-mescaline
project under the Ford Foundation funding. (11) Hutchins, it will
be recalled, was the program director of the Ford Foundation
during this period. His LSD proposal incited such rage in Henry
Ford II that Hutchins was fired from the foundation the following
year.
It was also in 1953 that Osmond gave Huxley a supply of
mescaline for his personal consumption. The next year, Huxley
wrote The Doors of Perception, the first public manifesto of the
psychedelic drug cult, which claimed that hallucinogenic drugs
"expand consciousness."

Although, through the sane intervention of Henry Ford, the
Ford Foundation rejected the Hutchins-Huxley proposal for
private foundation sponsorship of LSD, it appears that the
project was not dropped. Beginning in 1962, the RAND Corporation of Santa Monica California began a four-year experiment in LSD, peyote, and marijuana. The RAND Corporation
was established simultaneously with the reorganization of the
Ford Foundation during 1949-50. RAND was an outgrowth of the
wartime Strategic Bombing Survey, a "cost analysis" study of
the psychological effects of random bombings of German
population centers. It is well known that RAND has been responsible for conduiting such patently insane policies as "limited thermonuclear war" and the "insanity doctrine" into the U.S.
Pentagon — most notably through RAND's James Schlesinger.

HUXLEY AT WORK
Huxley expanded his own LSD-mescaline project in California
by recruiting several individuals who had been initially drawn
into the cult circles he helped establish during his 1937-45 stay.
The two most prominent individuals were Alan Watts and Dr.
Gregory Bateson (the former husband of Dame Margaret Mead).
Mead).
Watts became a self-styled "guru" of a nationwide Zen
Buddhist cult built around a series of his well-publicized books.
Bateson, an anthropologist with the OSS, became the director of a
hallucinogenic drug experimental clinic at the Palo Alto
Veterans Administration Hospital. Under Bateson's auspices, the
initiating "cadre" of the LSD cult — the hippies — were
programmed.

Both are in effect. 1984 for the poor and a brave new world for the middle class.

Watts at the same time founded the Pacifica Foundation, which
sponsored two radio stations — WKBW in San Francisco and
WBAI-FM in New York City. The Pacifica stations were among
the first to push the "Liverpool Sound" — the British-imported
hard rock twanging of the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, and the
Animals. They would later pioneer "acid rock" and eventually
the avowedly fascist-psychotic "punk rock."
During the fall of 1960, Huxley was appointed Visiting
Professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in
Boston. Around his stay in that city, Huxley created a circle at
Harvard parallel to his West Coast LSD team. The Harvard
group included Huxley, Osmond, and Watts (brought in from
California), Timothy Leary, and Richard Alpert.
The ostensible topic of the Harvard seminar was "Religion and
its Significance in the Modern Age." The seminar was actually a
planning session for the "acid rock" counterculture. Huxley
established contact during this Harvard period with the president
of Sandoz, which at the time was working on a CIA contract to
produce large quantities of LSD and psilocybin (another synthetic hallucinogenic drug) for MK-ULTRA, the CIA's official
chemical warfare experiment.

According to recently released
CIA documents, Allen Dulles, purchased over 100 million doses of
LSD — almost all of which flooded the streets of the U.S. during
the late 1960s. During the same period Leary began privately purchasing large quantities of LSD from Sandoz as well. (14)
From the discussions of the Harvard seminar, Leary put
together the book The Psychedelic Experience, based on the
ancient cultist Tibetan Book of the Dead. It was this book that
popularized Osmond's previously coined term, "psychedelic
mind expanding."

THE ROOTS OF THE FLOWER PEOPLE
Back in California, Gregory Bateson had maintained the
Huxley operation out of the Palo Alto VA hospital. Through LSD
experimentation on patients already hospitalized for
psychological problems, Bateson established a core of
"initiates" into the "psychedelic" Isis Cult.
Foremost among his Palo Alto recruits was Ken Kesey. In
1959, Bateson administered the first dose of LSD to Kesey. By 1962,
Kesey had completed a novel, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's
Nest, which popularized the notion that society is a prison and the
only truly "free" people are the insane. (15)
Kesey subsequently organized a circle of LSD initiates called
"The Merry Pranksters." They toured the country disseminating
LSD (often without forewarning the receiving parties), building
up local distribution connections, and establishing the pretext for
a high volume of publicity on behalf of the still miniscule
"counterculture."

Ayn Rand wrote another called "Anthem". In that dystopia world there was a cataclysmic event and the society that followed had technology deliberately withheld from the people. The main character is a smart guy who wants to be part of the elite science group who decides what technology of old is allowed to be distributed to the masses. In an effort to prove himself he discovers a light bulb and is able to make it work.
Upon showing it off the other elites freak out that society wasn't ready for that and reveal they already knew about it. The MC goes off on a quest to try and learn more so he can give technology back to the people along with the freedom to choose.
One interesting note was that book did not use the word "I" and instead the character(s) would say we even when meaning singular. The concept of "me" or "I" was eradicated from public consciousness.

Actually in 1984, the 'news' consisted of a constant stream of made-up statistics that were always spun as positive
Much like today's GDP numbers, etc.
The "proles" also got a steady supply of shitty manufactured pop music.
Where he missed was predicting the rampant narcissism and celebrity culture.
