Quote

"It seems to me that the nature of the ultimate revolution with which we are now faced is precisely this: that we are in the process of developing a whole series of techniques which will enable the controlling oligarchy who have always existed and will always exist to get people to love their servitude." — Aldous Huxley, 20 March, 1962 U.C. Berkeley
