Brave New World
Huxley's dystopia depicts pleasure-based totalitarianism through genetic engineering and conditioning. Unlike Orwell's fear, Huxley warned against control through happiness. The novel explores freedom, individuality, technology's dehumanization, and meaning's necessity. Soma, hypnopaedia, and manufactured contentment create chilling vision of controlled society.
