Aldous Huxley napisao je roman Vrli novi svijet 1932. godine,dok je George Orwell napisao svoj roman 1984. negdjeizmeđu 1945. i 1948. godine. Izrazit očaj, krajnji pesimizam ibesperspektivnost čovjekove sadašnjosti i budućnosti glavne suodlike ovih romana, a upozorenje se odnosi na činjenicu daako se u tijeku povijesti i razvoja ljudskoga društva nešto nepromijeni, ljudi će širom svijeta izgubiti većinu svojih ljudskihobilježja i postati automati bez duše, a da toga neće biti nisvjesni. U Vrlom novom svijetu utjecaj medija na ljude toliko jeočit da stanovništvo nesvjesno upotrebljava komercijalni jezikoglašavanja u svom govoru. Orwell je precizno anticipiraosredišnje mjesto koje će televizor zauzeti u domovima i upotrebutog najrazvijenijega komunikacijskog medija kao instrumentaindoktrinacije i društvene kontrole. Osim sličnosti fikcijskihsvjetova iz Orwellove 1984. i Huxleyjeva Vrlog novog svijeta sdanašnjim društvom, rad tematizira potrošnju kao načinživljenja u modernom društvu i utjecaj masovnih medija narazvoj potrošačkoga mentaliteta. Ono što slijedi zapravo jeverifikacija temeljne hipoteze rada da su masovni mediji kreatoriutopijske i magične zbilje koju nastoje povezati sa stvarima--robama kako bi osnažile kapitalizam i potrošačko društvo.Aldous Huxley wrote Brave New World in 1932 while GeorgeOrwell wrote Nineteen Eighty-Four between 1945 and 1948.Aldous Huxley and George Orwell’s anti-utopian novelsshare many similar features and thanks to their propheciesof the future of society, they are regarded as dystopiannovels par excellence. Huxley and Orwell understood thedanger and influence of the mass media over people andmarked this event in different ways. In Brave New World, theinfluence of the media over people was so corroding thatcitizens inadvertently used advertising sentences in theirspeech. Orwell adopted the "telescreens" and drew attentionto their obsessive presence in every citizen’s life in Oceania:there, people were obliged to listen carefully to theinstructions coming out of the video. The paper does notonly compare the fictional worlds of 1984 and Brave NewWorld, but also deals with consumption as a way ofcontemporary life and the influence of mass media on thedevelopment of consumer mentality. The paper is averification of the hypothesis that mass media are thecreators of utopian and magical reality associated withconsumer goods for the purpose of strengthening capitalismand consumer society.Aldous Huxley verfasste 1932 seinen Roman Schöne neueWelt, George Orwells Roman 1984 entstand zwischen 1945und 1948. Zu den Hauptmerkmalen dieser Werke gehörentiefste Verzweiflung, Pessimismus und diePerspektivenlosigkeit der menschlichen Gegenwart undZukunft. Beide Autoren warnen vor einem weltweitenmassiven Verlust der Menschlichkeit, der uns zu seelenlosenRobotern degradiert, ohne dass wir uns dessen bewusstwären, sollte im Verlauf der Menschheitsgeschichte und dergesellschaftlichen Entwicklung keine Änderung eintreten. InHuxleys Roman Schöne neue Welt wird der Einfluss derMedien sehr deutlich: Die Menschen verwenden selbst imprivaten Umgang miteinander die Sprache der Werbung.Orwell antizipierte die zentrale Stellung, die das Fernsehenim Haushalt einnehmen würde, und sagte voraus, dassdieses modernste aller Kommunikationsmedien zu einem Instrument der Indoktrinierung und gesellschaftlichenKontrolle avancieren würde. Außer den Ähnlichkeiten derbeschriebenen fiktiven Welten in Orwells 1984 und HuxleysSchöne neue Welt thematisiert dieser Artikel den Konsum alsdie Lebensweise der modernen Gesellschaft und den Einflussder Massenmedien auf die Entwicklung derVerbrauchermentalität. Abschließend kann dieGrundannahme bestätigt werden, dass die Massenmedieneine utopische und magische Realität herstellen, diese mitWaren in Verbindung zu bringen trachten und somit demKapitalismus und der Konsumgesellschaft den Rückenstärken
