Brave New World is a dystopian novel about social engineering. Some of Huxley’s predictions strike close, some seem quaint. In the 1930s, Huxley couldn’t have seen the rise of computers, smartphones, and the internet, but the social engineering aspects of his world seem plausible given the left’s insane obsession with “equality” today.

Brave New World’s world is not as depressing and terrifying as Orwell’s 1984. In fact, some aspects of it are appealing (eradication of hunger and disease), but it’s still unsettling in its own way. Recommended.
