This book feels extremely early science-fiction, which it literally is, I suppose. If it reminds me of anything, it’s probably Stand on Zanzibar.
I am interested still to see how it plays out. But I suppose, I didn’t know much except that BNW is about excess consumption, which I see. But with the genetic engineering component, I just don’t see it to be as relevant or horrifying as 1984.

I am struggling to understand the point of Brave New World.

I am curious as to why Huxley dislikes Ford so much.
The whole sleep memorization emphasis really is about the difference about how we teach history. Is is about facts? (Imagine those stereotypical WW2 guys) Or is it about analysis and making connections? (Basically, how I approach history) Huxley, through parody, promotes the latter to the utmost extent.

Here lay the consequences of not understanding biology.
: A tour to students, who embrace no critical thinking, at a fertility laboratory. A demonstration of the process - hundreds of processes of types of people. A question of infinite growth from one embryo. Of rapid growth. The question is engineering a type of person who can work but will not think.
