What would life be like?
Either way, it's all meaningless. Fecundity is the purpose of life and meanings are abstractly created through the interpretation processes of the human psyche.
The CNS is the human psyche.

1984 covers the surveillance/police state aspect(and my favorite), Brave New World covers the eugenics/science-sans-ethics aspect

An important takeaway from 1984 is that conventional English is 'dead' (or at least that's the goal) whittled down to 'Newspeak' which is the set, select government issued vocab introduced for propoganda and mind limitation.

I've read the Leviathen series by Terry Pratchett and that was pretty cool. It was Nazi robots vs Allied genetic monsters.

...
there are the seemingly dualisticaly opposed words: 'moral' & 'immoral'
but there is a third word: 'amoral'
which say, refers to the tiger, who kills but is not immoral because that is its nature, hence we can't call it bad. It is outside of the dichotomy.
so we have the words: 'meaning' and 'meaningless'
but I think we need a third word
because not everything that doesn't fit into the category 'meaningful' is necessarily 'meaningless'. To call things 'meaningless' is actually to judge them by the yardstick of "meaningfulness" ( however one might chooses to define "meaningfulness").
if one is going to try and perceive reality through abstractly created notions one might as well have an expanding vocabulary.
'meaning'/'meaningfulness' and 'meaningless' seem such a tired old pair. "purpose' and 'purposeless' seem likewise overly serious and confining.

From a truly dualistic approach there are only two types of perspectives, explicit perspectives(physical tendencies) and implicit perspectives(ideas in our heads).
Although I do believe the two major branches of explicit and implicit perspectives can be further broken down, it's just a simplified example.

Not to mention there is a whole genre out there of alternate history "what if the Nazi's won" its actually gives me pause to see so many such books in a mainstream bookstore.

I'm certain you are correct. I am familiar with the Amazon TV series, which was nicely done.

I doubt a Nazi victory would have lasted until 1984. Plots to kill Hitler were fairly frequent. While the p[otters were frequently motivated by doing the right thing, I think trying to avoid be hung in postwar tribunals enterred their minds.
