Has anyone read this book? I recently read it and i think it's incredible the parallels the reader can draw from this fiction book written in the 1930's and your society today, although the settings are different the themes are quite similar. Check it out if your into philosophical/sci fiction genre

Huxley was a prophet. Also check out After Many a Summer Dies the Swan.

BNW is fantastic. Read George Orwell's 1984 next. Both scary renditions of our potential future.
A lot of people compare the two works and see which one better mirrors our society today. Both do, but in different ways.
You'll definitely like it if you liked BNW though, although it is bit a darker and more cynical... Both will resonate with what you see every day in our society though.

Will read both works suggested, and watched the video. This man is a genius. Currently reading another one of his books called The Perennial Philosophy. It's a bit dry however it still has that element of pure genius that Huxley provides.
