Aldous Huxley and Utopia


We criticize mass culture not because it gives men too much or makes their life too secure that but rather because it contributes to a condition in which men get too little and what they get is bad, a condition in which whole strata inside and out live in frightful poverty, in which men come to terms with injustice, in which the world is kept in a condition where one must expect on the one hand gigantic catastrophes and on the other clever elites conspiring to bring about a dubious peace.

Theodor W. Adorno
1903 - 1969
