Michael Kilman and Matt Wellstrom take on Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, the dystopian classic of test-tube babies, Soma, and a society engineered for pleasure and stability. We cover Huxley's life and the plagiarism controversies around the novel, the Fordism and mass media that shaped it, and a full summary of the story of Bernard, Lenina, Helmholtz, and John the Savage. Then we ask why this 1930s novel predicted so much of our world: consumerism as control, eugenics, the social media panopticon, influencer culture, and a spectacle no one can escape.
Next up for Halloween: Tender Is the Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica.
