Aldous: There’ll be too many books to read.
George: Big Brother will deprive us of
information.
Aldous: We’ll be fed so much information we’ll
be paralyzed.
George: Big Brother will spy on us with cameras
and microphones.
Aldous: Computers will spy on our trivial
shopping lists and suggest alternatives.

inflicting pain.

in pleasure.
