When constructing a dystopia, it takes some doing to be both Orwellian and Huxleyan at the same time. But with the changes he just announced to the Facebook News Feed (http://mashable.com/2018/01/11/facebook-news-feed-algorithm-changes-family-friends/?utm_campaign&utm_context=textlink&utm_medium=rss&utm_source), Mark Zuckerberg seems to have managed this extraordinary feat.*
The nightmare worlds of George Orwell (Nineteen Eighty-Four) and Aldous Huxley (Brave New World) are in many ways polar opposites. One is a surveillance state that controls what people see of history by literally rewriting newspapers. The other controls its citizenry by blissing them out on a dissociative drug called soma.*
