I read this out of curiosity, and of wondering in what ways Huxley saw his Brave New World was becoming reality in 1958. The short story? As clichéd as it is, the more things change, the more they stay the same. Much of the core argument that Huxley makes remains viable today. It's the details that have changed, as science and technology continue to press forward. For example, we are no longer waiting for "the pill" to be invented to save us from overpopulation - instead the new issues are ones of availability and attainability. Similarly, we seem less aware of propaganda and media manipulation, even as corporations continue to absorb one another, making it increasingly difficult to suss out where their allegiances lie.

Not a bad read, but it makes me wish Aldous Huxley was still alive to write Brave New World Revisited, Again. I miss his calm approach to dissecting the world's woes.
