This critique highlights how advancements can lead to dehumanization when personal autonomy is sacrificed for societal conformity.
2. The Illusion of Happiness: Huxley explores the idea that manufactured happiness, achieved through conditioning and the use of soma, comes at the cost of genuine human experiences and emotions. The novel suggests that true fulfillment and meaning arise from facing life's challenges rather than escaping them through superficial pleasures.

This commentary emphasizes the importance of individuality in the face of a homogenized culture that values collective stability over personal expression.
