This article is veery well written. I read the book a long time ago and never thought Huxley would get almost everything right. &quot;Technology controls the society&quot;, this one wasn&#x27;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.<p>Comparing Soma to SSRI or MDMA is nothing new and apart from that, there&#x27;s no additional &quot;analysis.&quot; At least refer to the their lack of a competitive lifestyle (e.g. a golf-esque game with no winners&#x2F;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&#x2F;free feelings for lower caste babies).

I tried to read Brave New World. Really pushed myself. Is it me or is BNW just Christian horror?
