Brave New World

Brave New World imagines a future society obsessed with technological control and superficial happiness. Huxley presents a world where people are engineered and conditioned from birth to serve a rigid caste system. Individuality, love, and critical thought are suppressed in favor of comfort and conformity. The novel forces readers to face the dark side of progress and the costs of losing authentic human connection.

What struck me most is how relevant its warning remains in an age of consumerism, data surveillance, and instant gratification. It asks whether comfort is worth the price of freedom.
