  Brave New World is a good read if you find the WEF minutes a bit too on the nose.

    It is dense but worth reading. Everyone thinks the prototypical dystopia is going to be 1984, but every year that passes i'm convinced it will be the one in brave new world.

      People have been saying that almost verbatim for decades. Book is OK but 1984 outshines it in many aspects.

        Could you name some?

        BNW is actually closer to reality IMO since the oppressive BB idea never came to pass, nor does it look likely. As much as people scream about oppression, Orange man bad/FJB etc humanity has never been more peaceful or prosperous. But Huxley's idea of embracing creature comforts to the point that we lose our souls is a lot, lot closer to the mark. Just look at us on this website. So much energy devoted to finding a slightly cheaper OLED TV. What sort of life is that in the grand scheme of things?

          @1st-Amendment: Firstly, and most importantly, 1984 is better written and more entertaining. That’s why it’s an enduring classic.

          People do 1984 a disservice by neglecting the themes of thought control and language crafting. We live in a society in which the powers-at-large are attempting to silence ideas and opinions which were held by the absolute majority even 10 years ago. Language is regularly submitted for review and the acceptable vocabulary is ever-shifting. We now have politicians talking about regulating what their political opponents are allowed to say.

          BNW was more of an indictment of individuals.

              You’re welcome to that opinion but 1984 eclipses BNW in terms of popularity and crticial reception. Even the proponents of BNW present it contra 1984.

              People who think that BNW has more relevancy to the modern reader than 1984.

      Yes that was noted in Neil Postman's 'Entertaining ourselves to Death' book that came out a few years back.

      "We had forgotten that alongside Orwell’s dark vision, there was another—slightly older, slightly less well known, equally chilling: Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World. Contrary to common belief even among the educated, Huxley and Orwell did not prophesy the same thing. Orwell warns that we will be overcome by an externally imposed oppression. But in Huxley’s vision, no Big Brother is required to deprive people of their autonomy, maturity and history. As he saw it, people will come to love their oppression, to adore the technologies that undo their capacities to think.

      What Orwell feared were those who would ban books. What Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read one. Orwell feared those who would deprive us of information. Huxley feared those who would give us so much that we would be reduced to passivity and egoism. Orwell feared that the truth would be concealed from us. Huxley feared the truth would be drowned in a sea of irrelevance. Orwell feared we would become a captive culture. Huxley feared we would become a trivial culture, preoccupied with some equivalent of the feelies, the orgy porgy, and the centrifugal bumblepuppy. As Huxley remarked in Brave New World Revisited, the civil libertarians and rationalists who are ever on the alert to oppose tyranny ‘failed to take into account man’s almost infinite appetite for distractions.’ In 1984, Orwell added, people are controlled by inflicting pain. In Brave New World, they are controlled by inflicting pleasure. In short, Orwell feared that what we fear will ruin us. Huxley feared that what we desire will ruin us.

      This book is about the possibility that Huxley, not Orwell, was right.”—Neil Postman, Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business (1985)"

  Thanks. Brave New World is a really important book. Not read it for a while, but I think Huxley was pretty spot on prophesying a future dumbed down, Americanised world.
