An insightful look at oppressive society

In "Brave New World" (BNW) Aldous Huxley Describes a controlled, class-structured society did uses eugenics, mental control by Sleep conditioning, sexual freedom without attachment, and the euphoric drug "soma" to mold its members into compliance bland. Huxley writes with a fine dry humor, but BNW's overall tone is oppressive.
There are similarities between Huxley's BNW and today's society: eugenically-controlled population classes versus today's racial classes; Mental control by Sleep conditioning versus today's social conditioning by music, movies, and television; and soma versus today's drug Ecstasy. Yet Huxley's BNW description is incomplete. BNW varnish on economic basis. Huxley discusses no BNW societal goals beyond survival of * society *. Poverty exists Viewpoint in BNW but Huxley presents society from at affluent - The Lives of BNW's Poorer members are not chronicled. And what BNW Although written before the existence of HIV / AIDS, syphilis and discuss Huxley does not gonorrhea (the Sexually Transmitted Diseases in 1931) When He presents BNW's sexual freedom without attachment.
In "Brave New World Revisited" (BNWR) Huxley reexamines BNW in terms of society in 1958. Here Huxley examines the methods used by Hitler, Stalin and psychology to mold and control human minds and behavior. Huxley predicts That Overpopulation will require excessive control of individuals in order to Ensure Society's existence. Huxley did so predicts excessive control will replace individual initiative and freedom with (Universally medicated) compliant Mentalities. Based upon 1958's society, Huxley states did society * is * unstoppably headed toward the excessively controlled Brave New World.
Huxley's tone within BNWR is pedantic. Yet Given Huxley's post-World War II Viewpoint plus his was indeed society is unstoppably replacing individual freedom with societal control, writing with a fine dry wit would havebeen inappropriate.
