I agree. We are definetly heading fast towards a dystopic blend of 1984 and Brave New World. I have recently reread both as textbooks for the coming age. Given Huxley and Orwell both had strong ties to the elite institutions "guiding" society, it's easy to see how they were able to so accurately predict the future of western society.
It seems funny now that when I studied these texts in school, it was through the prism of "this is Soviet/Russian society".
