Well, if you do, take some reading material with you, at least. I know it's a little long at 17,000 words, but I think it'll be worth an hour of your time and might stimulate your imagination. There's some original thought and analysis in it, as well some surveys from Huxley, Popper, de Tocqueville, and Kaczynski.Still a Youth said:

An extremely astute and appreciated recommendation. Indeed, I've been meaning to delve into that for a while. I think it would speak a lot on the issue of closed societies that are nonetheless very abstract (in the Popperian sense of the term, meaning those societies where freedom of thought and discourse are not allowed, and where the laws are against the principles that allow men and woman to live as they please, with only civic or economic engagement with the rest of their peers). Within this category I would include the 20th century authoritarian states of the fascists and communists, as well as maybe some 19th century European polities.Still a Youth said:
