Huxley wasn’t warning of the Brave New World. He was celebrating its inevitable arrival.

The man was one of the most evil human beings of the 20th century.

Huxley wrote Orwell congratulating him on “1984”. He stated:

“Within the next generation I believe that the world’s leaders will discover that infant conditioning and narco-hypnosis are more efficient, as instruments of government, than clubs and prisons, and that the lust for power can be just as completely satisfied by suggesting people into loving their servitude as by flogging them and kicking them into obedience.”

That does not seem celebrating the world in “Brave New World”.
