This article is veery well written. I read the book a long time ago and never thought Huxley would get almost everything right. "Technology controls the society", this one wasn't that hard to predict.
Am I missing something? This is such a simple, short piece that I thought I missed a link to a second page.
Comparing Soma to SSRI or MDMA is nothing new and apart from that, there's no additional "analysis." At least refer to the their lack of a competitive lifestyle (e.g. a golf-esque game with no winners/losers), therapies like VPS for emotional attachment, frustration, etc. or electrotherapies administered to babies to ensure they upload the status quo (e.g. aversion to natural/free feelings for lower caste babies).

Agreed. It reads as an eighth grade book report on BNW.
I tried to read Brave New World. Really pushed myself. Is it me or is BNW just Christian horror?
No book is for everyone I guess but I think calling it "just" Christian horror is oversimplifying. Especially because I don't think Huxley was very religious at all.
