A world where any deviation from what society expects is severely punished.īrave New World has a lot in common with Orwell’s 1984 and both novels are often mentioned in the same breath, despite being published 17 years apart. A world where the needs of society as a whole are paramount and the needs of individuals are subordinate to this. The novel is set in a world where social conditioning forces everyone into rigid roles. It’s one of the go-to texts of the dystopian sci-fi sub-genre and is often reached for as a metaphor for totalitarian societies that seek to crush individual freedom under a smothering blanket of conformity. Brave New World by Aldous Huxley is a seminal science fiction novel.
