I just meant that there are different perspectives for different people. If you look at countries like Russia and China there is more of a 1984 society, whereas in the US and Europe, at least here in the Netherlands, society resembles Brave New World more. Brave New World captures many of the frustrations that I have with the indifference people exhibit when reacting to issues like privacy or trustworthiness of media or politics. When you read historic novels like Ken Follett's 'Fall of Giants' you get more of a 1984 vibe with the Russian stories. Seeing China's surveillance system described in various place doesn't give off a 1984 vibe, it breathes 1984 to a scary degree. Add modern day technology to the mix and it is nothing short of horrific.
