Why are people talking about 1984 when this exists?? Wake up sheeple, it’s time to read Brave New World

Brave New World is a dystopian novel published in 1932, yet scarily relevant today!
In the "New World", the citizens are created scientifically and assigned hierarchical roles based on their genetic makeup.
The scientific advancements of reproductive technology, the widespread use of a drug called soma and the unchallenged acceptance of the "rules" would have been revolutionary in the 1930s, today they feel scarily imminent.
The story essentially is about the one person who challenges the "norm" and doesn't quite fit in anywhere.
I liked the descriptions of the scientific processes such as hatching and conditioning, but can't help being just slightly apprehensive about the future! I listened to the audiobook which was well paced & kept my interest to the end.

honestly don’t know how i felt about this one. i did enjoy the ending though, it was practically the only part that made sense to me without having to read a chapter summary and explanation afterwards… which i had to do for literally every other chapter hahaha! overall interesting anyway, outdated but also relevant.
probably also didn’t comprehend it as well cause i read the audio book
