    Just reread Brave New World, and you’re spot on. I forgot how consumerism underpinned everything in their society.

    It was like a tightly regulated market but in the worst way.

      Yup. Everyone turns to 1984 as the dystopia of our time, but it’s really Brave New World, and it’s always been. Even Huxley said as much in a letter to George Orwell, lol.
