16 years after the publication of Brave New World, Huxley revisits his predictions of society as well as comparing the predictions of 1984 by George Orwell.

Huxley discusses Overpopulation, Medication, Propaganda and other facets of ruling the masses. He uses the framework of Hitler's Nazi Germany which happened between his fiction work and this nonfiction work.

Huxley's brain is brilliant and many of his predictions have in fact come true, if maybe with not the same force or speed as he predicted. I would love to see what Huxley thinks of society today. He definitely would be horrified, but I'm sure his thought would be as insightful as they were in the 30s and 50s. I was reading this saying to myself, this information is available, and warnings have been given, but here we are treading down the same dangerous path. Maybe human nature, both greed and apathy, is too strong to overcome.
