Orwell perfectly captures the state of society in China right now, Huxley the west.
The caveat being, we are only temporarily in the Huxley world as we transition into a controlled information, totalitarian state designed to mirror China. China also had something resembling a Huxley period during the cultural revolution.
They didn't predict different futures, just different points on the same timeline.

Except Orwell's censorship was mainly for the Party, not the Proles.
