Brave New World is definitely the more prescient of the two.
1984 has elements to it that have come true, but the overall theme of BNW of oversaturation of entertainment is definitely accurate to reality nowadays.

Thanks for coming.
Physical media has been dying for years. If you look at the sales statistics between physical and digital, it makes for grim reading if you care about physical media.
75% of game sales in Europe in 2024 were digital. In 2022, 90% of game sales in the UK were digital. It’s a similar story pretty much everywhere. And whilst there’s a lot of noise on the internet about how bad a digital-only future would be, the average consumer doesn’t care.
This is why I love the Quick Tap feature on Pixel phones.
I suppose it might go down well with some of his base who love the “macho” shit, but the rest of the world are looking on with disgust.
In some ways, this has probably worked out well for Ukraine, as it might focus minds in Europe. Though I do wish Zelenskyy had pointed out the $350bn in aid lie that Trump keeps spouting.
Yes, extra security for your personal information is so irritating.
Did Trump and Vance think this embarrassing display made them look the better of the leaders?
Because it really didn’t.
Trade unions stuck in the past shocker.
I really want this, but £55 for a 3.5 year-old game is a bit steep.
Also, a premium edition that gives you four days early access for a port of an old game is laughable.
You mean the Bullring?
It’s okay, and it’s not far from where I live but it’s not quite the same as the ones you see in North America. Though maybe they feel different if you don’t live there.
I’m in the UK but now I want to go and visit that mall. 😂
It reminds me of the West Edmonton Mall that I visited when I was a kid.
Exactly.
Also, I might read a message quickly while I’m at work for example, but not have the chance to reply because of that, so I don’t want people to think I’m ignoring them when I just don’t have the time to reply at that moment.
They voted for it, so why would they be mad?
If signing petitions led to anything, they wouldn’t let you sign them.
One positive is that they at least allow you to uninstall it.
Which I’ve just done because I didn’t even know it existed and it certainly didn’t show up in the Play Store at any point.
Well, I don’t know about you but I don’t go to work and tell everyone I’m male or my sexual orientation, because I’m going to do a job and that would be weird.
He’s literally just a cringe edgelord desperate for attention. And people keep giving him exactly what he wants.
He wasn’t doing a Nazi salute. He’s literally trolling you all and you’re all falling for it.
They did in 2016 and the prophets of doom were wrong then too.
He’ll just be a shit President again. Now with additional senility.
Not a real story because it didn’t end with “…and then everyone clapped”.
