If everyone grows up conditioned to think a certain way, then the reason why Brave New World feels like a dystopia is that it contradicts our conditioning. And the pre-conditioned gnawing feeling about human rights aside, the Brave New World seems in many ways better than ours. Free will — what’s that, anyway? I didn’t choose my life either, and the prospect of working 9-5s day after day honestly makes me want to pop some soma.
Graphic: Death of parent
Moderate: Suicide
