Huxley vs Orwell who got it right? Comix

[rwsanders]

75. I didn't realize there was a relationship between Huxley and Orwell, but...

I still think Bradbury would hold his own in the comparison. I think there are themes that he hit that the others missed. I think he caught the isolation of individuals and the destruction of family units as entertainment became more personalized; and I think one of the most brilliant moments was where the police really didn't care who was caught as long as they could look good on camera catching "Montag". Almost forgot, another concept that was just completely amazing that he included was the rigging of the elections by providing one clean-cut visually appealing candidate, and his "opposition" (intended to lose) was a slovenly man named "Hogg" and how Montag's wife and friends were oblivious to the set up. On the technical side, he caught the small earphones, large screen TVs, and I think his version of surveillance is the closest to what we have now.
"Better writer" may be a matter of taste or maybe I'm too simple minded as a reader, but after reading "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep", I haven't wanted to read anything else by Dick, although I loved the movie.
Again, I didn't realize the reason that Orwell and Huxley are compared so often is the relationship and the almost directly oppositional views of totalitarianism, but I'm still most fond of Bradbury.
