The book Brave New World written by Aldous Huxley, is a radical story that is interpreted as a potential warning to us, society, if we continue to make poor life choices. In the novel, Huxley describes a culture in which people are programmed to live forever and forced to think that sex and drugs are. For them, the idea of ​​having a family with a mother and a father is absolutely repugnant to think about. Even if some of Huxley's thoughts are unrealistic, today it is possible to understand their meaning. Nowadays, the three ideas that are bringing us closer to the true Brave New World are technological advances, the obsession with staying young, and the increasing rate of drug use. The first way our world parallels the Brave New World is our desire to stay young. In Huxley's macrocosm, people are made to live without any change in aesthetics; they are meant to look the same from day one. But you can undo your youth by taking too much drug, soma. Unlike us, they have nothing to fight their aging. In many cultures today it seems that young people are revered and admired. As people get older, they may believe that they will be treated differently because they are "too old" or perhaps they are looking to be in a relationship and believe that looking younger will make them seem more attractive. In previous generations, older people were treated with a little more respect, but today's culture seems to prefer a youthful appearance; this causes some older adults to feel the need to use anti-aging products or undergo plastic surgery to not look old-fashioned. This is evident in today's markets; Market research firm Global Industry Analysts predicts the boom-fueled consumer base trying to keep the signs of aging at bay will push... middle of the paper... into a surge that's hard to fathom. Since 2000, they have seen a 770% increase in the number of first-time users. Across the country there has been a 60% increase in first-time users. Unfortunately, due to the increasing rate of heroin use, the number of deaths due to heroin overdoses has increased by more than 45%. It is evident from these figures that we are becoming more and more like the people of Brave New World. After reading Brave New World we think that it is a totally unrealistic world, but this is no longer the case. Our society is proving to be more like the Brave New World thanks to our technological advancements, desire to stay young, and increased drug use. All these factors are bringing our world ever closer to what Huxley predicted more than 80 years ago; a world we should be afraid of instead of resembling it.
