I still to this day thinks that this novel surpassed The Hunger Games and 1984 in terms of dystopian genre.
The novel itself potrayed a lot of symbolism to our current modern world uniquely and more stronger than the other books.
Why isn’t it being discuss in the same level as hunger games or 1984? I’ve seen countless memes about 1984 than I do for the Brave New World.
I think the nature of Brave New World is a bit harder to quickly refer to than 1984. People use 1984 as a catchall for surveillance state, even if they haven’t read it. BNW focuses more on the industrial state and spiritual poverty IIRC. Most people can sympathize with the lack of freedom in 1984, but BNW is a bit more complicated (and honestly probably more relevant, I should reread it). Honestly, I feel like a lot of people would look at soma vacations and think that the BNW dystopia isn’t all that bad.
