I would probably argue that Brave New World is just an exaggeration of today, and for me that's where the power is. People are increasingly focused on the shallow and inconsequential, led that way by a media force that only seeks to exploit the limited attention of the masses for maximum profit. Bernard Marx and his surrender to the system is just a representation of modern protest - very little action is taken and very little change before their ideals eventually just cave in. I dunno if that's what Huxley intended or if I've just got everything wrong, but that's how I've always interpreted the book.
