Bravenewworld

This document provides a comparison between the society depicted in Brave New World and modern society. It discusses how both worlds use drugs, have casual sex, and prioritize entertainment. However, it argues that modern society still values birth, family, and relationships more than the Brave New World, and that while aspects of our society could evolve similarly, it is not guaranteed to replicate that dystopian vision. Overall, the document aims to analyze similarities and differences between the two worlds while questioning if modern society may be progressing toward Brave New World's societal structure.
