Huxley gave a great lecture on this topic.

I am living in Romania and old enough, so 20 years ago it was Orwell. Now Huxley is right. What’s strange is that 20 years ago you could have found Huxley novels in every library but never have heard about Orwell. In fact I heard about Orwell and read Nineteen Eighty-Four only after 1990.
Brilliant cartoon indeed, and great novelists.
