“There will be, in the next generation or so, a pharmacological method of making people
love their servitude,
and producing dictatorship without tears, so to speak,
producing a
kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will in fact have
their liberties taken away from them, but will rather enjoy it,
because they will be
distracted from any desire to rebel by propaganda or brainwashing, or brainwashing
enhanced by pharmacological methods.
And this seems to be the final revolution.”
Aldous Huxley (1896-1963),
