Even though the world Huxley describes appears to be perfect on the surface where everyone is happy, a closer analysis reveals this society is much more like a house of cards, waiting to collapse on itself. By stripping every aspect of the individual away, the Brave New World consolidates its citizens into one thoughtless mob. This novel truly gives readers a glimpse into the dangers of absolute power. If it were more widely studied and discussed, I know the majority of the population would see the clear and present threat we face today and it would serve as a constant reminder to ensure individual freedoms are never extinguished and the type of environment depicted in a Brave New World should never be allowed to take place. Lastly, Brave New World is a satirical look into the possible future of the world as we know it. The loss of humanity. The population being controlled more like robots rather than living, breathing human beings. Huxley does a masterful job of showing the reader how this could actually happen today. I highly recommend this novel to readers of all levels and strongly support its inclusion in schools and public libraries
