Read closely this story from the New York Times Magazine, and tell me that this is not telling us 'oh you should just be ready to accept curtailings of your liberties happily! it's for your own good!' George Orwell would have quivered with distaste at this story. Aldous Huxley is probably up there in heaven looking down and going 'shit shit shit and I don't get to re-draft Brave New World again, I'm DEAD. Damnit!'.
Ah, Santayana, you were talking to an empty house, apparently. And we're doomed to repeat it, since we refuse to learn from it.
