     @PNS yeah when you dig into it, a lot of famous Brits of that era were born abroad because their parents were colonial administration government bureaucrats, often in India. That tells you what schools and social clubs later formed their class-based opinions. You can imagine Orwell and Huxley drinking brandy in wingback chairs arguing which extreme future controls the commoners better. I'm more surprised that he died at age 46.
