The following line makes Huxly's scathing POV of society quite clear: you will see that no offense is so heinous as the orthodoxy of behavior. I suppose it's true (more or less) for every society, and the foundation of localized morality.

The book begs mercifully for a return to Romanticism. Or is it a silent scream?

Still turing the world upside down. Whatever is normal for someone living in England circa 1950, the opposite is true in this futurist world. But it raises a good point: by what yardstick do we judge something as 'normal'?

Wow! This book explores a candy coated state controlled future jacked-up on force-fed consumerism. It takes all current mores and flips them upside down in way that almost infuriates. So much so, it's hard to tell if I should hate this imaginary future more than my existing past. Perhaps I will just hate them both.
