I still to this day thinks that this novel surpassed The Hunger Games and 1984 in terms of dystopian genre.

The novel itself potrayed a lot of symbolism to our current modern world uniquely and more stronger than the other books.

Why isn’t it being discuss in the same level as hunger games or 1984? I’ve seen countless memes about 1984 than I do for the Brave New World.

    It’s not analyzed with the same rigor of BNW, that’s true.

    It’s mostly seen as a useful metaphor for the way the poor and working classes fight amongst one another while being exploited by the wealthy.

    It’s not very deep, but it’s not entirely inaccurate either. Like a useful shorthand.

      Another redditor commented that it is used in school. I’m not a teacher, but I can imagine it’s easier to conduct a lesson that includes the majority of your class based on the hunger games than on bnw.

      Anyway, thanks for the insights and the discussion.
