Brave New World in many ways simply describes the world today, but a few things are very different. Classes aren’t assigned at birth in most countries, obviously. More importantly, Huxley wrote in the days of mass production where society-wide prosperity meant workers could have a Model T in any color so long as it’s black. But now everything is hypercustomized. Yet there is till tons of conformity as people eagerly imitate perceived success on social media. In both reality and BNW, individual choices don’t matter to the system at large: we all live in a giant social machine that produces incredible amounts of goods by the combination of our alienated labor.
