Brave New World is about genetic engineering, but it's also about social conditioning, and over-medication, or the loss of intimacy, or possibly technology and surveillance, and also maybe socialism is bad?Īldous Huxley's scathing novel came before George Orwell's 1984 and presents a sort of flip side to Orwell's infamous dystopia. Westworld is about robots in cowboy hats. It certainly adds a dash of cursing, a touch of violence, some Radiohead and a load of people getting their kit off.
The new TV adaptation, available on NBC's streaming service Peacock, re-examines the story for a modern age.
I wasn't prepared for how scathingly direct or unsettlingly dark it was, and still is today. When I first read Aldous Huxley's famous 1932 novel Brave New World, I expected something fusty and old-fashioned.
