First Paragraph

A squat grey building of only thirty-four stories. Over the main entrance the words, CENTRAL LONDON HATCHERY AND CONDITIONING CENTRE, and, in a shield, the World State's motto, COMMUNITY, IDENTITY, STABILITY.

- From Brave New World by Aldous Huxley

Combine that with 1984, Animal Farm and the predicted world evolution is a scary place, the values and ideals we hold dear are slowing and predictively being eroded...this interesting thing is we are letting it happen also as predicted

As has been said, the road to Hell is a smooth and grassy slope.
