The world is not like 1984 at all. Only retarded teenagers who feel "oppressed" for having to go school would think something like that. There's a good reason why only children listen to Rage Against the Machine, you know.
Huxley's vision of the future is far more accurate. People rotting in their own empty happiness? Sound familiar to me.
Why, there's even an image that someone made about this issue - that Orwell believed that "the things we hate will destroy us," and Huxley believed that "the things we love will destroy us." The only slightly applicable thing from 1984 in our time was the "Two Minutes Hate," where people are distracted from how shitty their lives are by being made to hate something. In our case, people are made to hate each other (left-wing versus right-wing) for no good reason, in order to distract them from just how boring their lives are. Ever wonder why people who actually give shit about politics are so unlikeable? They don't have anything else in their lives.
