"Brave New World," written by Aldous Huxley, is set in a dystopian future where society is governed by technological and scientific advancements. In this world, humans are genetically engineered and conditioned for their predetermined roles, ensuring stability and uniformity. The story follows Bernard Marx, an Alpha who feels out of place due to his unorthodox views and physical appearance. He becomes further disillusioned with the World State after visiting a Savage Reservation, where he meets John, a "savage" born naturally and raised outside the controlled society.

John's introduction to the World State brings a new perspective, highlighting the stark contrasts between the two cultures. He becomes a sensation, but his presence ultimately exposes the flaws and moral compromises of the seemingly perfect society. As John struggles with the loss of individuality, freedom, and genuine human connections in the face of pervasive consumerism and control, the novel delves into themes of dehumanization, the cost of technological progress, and the sacrifice of personal integrity for social stability. Huxley's work remains a powerful critique of modern society's potential direction, raising questions about the true price of a "perfect" world.
