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.

    Feel like Orwell was taking the violence and use of brutal power and reality control of changing the narrative so much that you never knew what was real Totalinitariasm route. While Huxley was more about a more subtle gentler, take the Soma and overindulge your every whim and nothing ever happened or is happening route. Another Great take would be
    Bradbury’s Farenheight 451. Of the 3 I think at the time of publishing 1984 was the most believable, especially to anyone who had any experience with Communism and it probably still resonates today. But if we look at the West today it appears that it’s much more like Brave New World. Hunger Games though I’m sure great doesn’t strike me as something original and as profound as these earlier works with 1984 at times being seriously terrifying.
