Is a New Brave World already coming?

Has New Brave World already started?

 Writing this, I don't mean Brave Explorer, wchich in my opinion is preety good, and you can earn awards BAT coin) by using it, I'm writing about a book writed by Audrey Huxley and an impresion that did on me.

Its a antiuthopian (or dystophian) novel published in 30's of 20th century, and sets place in London, nearly six hundred years in the future ("after Henry's Ford industrial, humanitarian  and business activity"). 

In this futuristic world, where the pionier and inventor of cars assembly lines is threatened like a deity.

But, in this case, instead of cars - human life has been almost entirely industrialized, its created in artificial wombs (on assembly lines) then conditioned into paticular class society system — controlled by a few people (highest case-Alpha plus) at the top of a World State.

The novel shows strictly hedonistic and consumer population of people, who are mainly focus on performing easy, non-demanding jobs, taking drugs and acting recreational sex. In this world there is no place for individual behaviour "each one (person) belongs to everyone".

I don't want to spoil the fun of reading this book and won't be going into more details, just wanted to make some observations about present days.

Although I can't say much about connditioning people into particular society, as I'm not a social psychologist, I got an impresion that nowdays, we are "programmed" to think and behave in specified way.

Firstly, no doubt, we live in a consumer society (at least id Europe is considered), we use to spend a lot on things, we really don't need (new electrical equipment, clothes, toys, drinking coffee at fancy coffee shops etc.), whats more, most of us are buying new stuff (and throwing out old one), when its damaged or worn out, instead of repairing it.

Secondly, lets take a look at  various sorts of social media (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, OnlyFans etc.) - a big part of our community is ready to sacrifice their privacy or even intimacy, to get attention, fight loneliness, earn quite easy money.

Other, bothering me thought is, that platform like TikTok or YouTube, or even surfing on web sites often distracts our attention from really important things (similiar to soma drug in the novel).

Thirdly, according to me, there is a very little place for individualists in this world nowdays, particulary, doing something in your own way will expose your for general ostracism, for example, when you have an unusuall hobby, wchich you  practise, without showing off on social portalu, you will be considered as a freak.

The more intense I think about how similiar our reality to the New Brave World  is, the more frightened I am.

Even the phase "you will own nothing, but you still will be happy"   or " Welcome to 2030: I own nothing,  have no privacy and life has never been better" reminds me surrealitic sentences reapeted by Lenina or other characters.

And here it comes my thought about CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency), is it the money that we really will own? Minted by Central Banks, will bring high potential - for example quick, easy, low costs transactions without third party, but it also will carry even more higher risk of being pernamently traced how we are spending our money, to whom we are donate them, what are our ha its, of course by the government and its tax administration.

CBDCs' can be even out of dated, wchich will make our money useless.

Coming back to the novel "New Brave World", the author - Audrey Huxley (a very intresting person himself) writing this novel in thirties of XXth century, couldn't predict many existing nowdays technologies ( such as an internet, mobile phones, credit cards etc.) but the developing trends in human society wchich he predicted, terryfies me a lot.

Whats your opinion about that? Leave a comment, please.
