Aldous Huxley:

An efficient totalitarian dictatorship, in which the all-powerful executive of political bosses and their army of managers control a population of slaves who do not have to be coerced, because they love their servitude, is still a long way off. But it is not an impossibility, and to a great extent, it has already been realized.
