What aspects of the sci-fi classic "Brave New World" strike you as accurate predictions of the future?
Aldous Huxley's 1932 novel "Brave New World" predicted beyond the present day--the story is set in the year 2540--but much of it strikes me as effectively foreshadowing many aspects of the world we live in. In 1998 a movie was made based on the book, and it was interesting in it's adaptation of Huxley's story based on a more current perspective.
What aspects of the future portrayed in "Brave New World" (the movie and/or the novel) strike you as true of how things are now, or might be in the next 500 years?

I think one of accurate prediction of the future in both the book and the movie is that as the year goes by, people would begin to do less work and life might be easier, probably due to the level of dependency on technology.
Another prediction of the future or even things that are happening now is the part in the movie that emphasized on the different social classes, where we have the rich and famous, the middle or average men and the low paid workers and also a government that is stripping people of their freedom.
The movie makes some very remarkable comments about the society we live in, although it was slightly exaggerated in its future setting. But the truth remains that the movie is far from the novel and does not contain all that Huxley’s intended to show through his book.
