Brave new world is a disturbing reflection of our own society. DiscussIn the near future our society will not be much different from the one depicted in Aldous Huxley's, 'Brave New World'. The idea of having a secondary God (Ford) is becoming more of a reality, compared to Huxley's fiction.Aldous Huxley's, 'Brave New World', explores the idea of being able to create 'test tube babies', i.e. there is no real mother or father for the child.

It won't be long till we are taking soma and seeing children that are being created in bottles. All of theses things are reality and a fact that they will eventually happen. We were warned ages ago but still persisted on and a couple of decades from now, the future generation will be reading the book and there wont be an difference between there world and Huxley's world.
