I read "Brave New World" about five years ago. My favorite quote on my profile page is from that book.

Huxley was ahead of his time. Almost everything in that book is coming to pass - such as parents viewed as an antiquated idea, babies created in laboratories and raised by "experts", sex as a preoccupation only to keep people happy, and "happiness" seen as the ultimate goal. We're heading in that direction right now.

There are a few things Huxley didn't predict, but he was awful close.

When I read "Brave New World" and "1984" (well before the actual year, I'm afraid), I thought that "1984" was the scariest scenario. Now, it's obvious that Huxley's was more dangerous. Unfortunately, it seems that the mass media is using "Brave New World" as a how-to manual, rather than as a cautionary tale.
