Both 1984 and Huxley's book describe worlds fundamentally stagnating.
But I find ultimately more anti-transhumanist the second, especially
in its depiction of a perversion of technology in view of a final
stability, an end of history, and a freezing of technological
development and technical prometheanism itself.
