* Despite how the society of the book isn't the same kind of hellish dystopia as Orwell's ''Literature/NineteenEightyFour'', it's been observed that in its own way, it's just as horrifying: in Oceania nobody is ''allowed'' to know the truth, but in the Brave New World, ''nobody '''cares''' about it any more!''

* The BehavioralConditioning includes the use of ElectricTorture on ''[[WouldHurtAChild babies]]''. Chapter 2 has a scene where Delta babies are exposed to books and flowers, then shocked so that they'll associate reading and nature with fear and pain, ensuring that they won't be able to educate themselves or derive enjoyment from something like hiking (since nature is free to enjoy, and the government would ''much'' rather you entertain yourself by buying something). If there was any doubt about whether or not [[CrapsaccharineWorld the Brave New World]] really counts as a {{dystopia}}, this should be what convinces you.

* For many readers, the idea of being born and pre-programmed on an assembly line, possibly waiting to be made mentally handicapped, and being forced into a caste position for the rest of your life. And nobody is going to mourn you after you die.

!! '''[[Fanfic/BraveNewWorld The Pokemon fanfic:]]'''

* While a lot tamer than FanFic/LatiasJourney, there is still plenty of NightmareFuel: the Tree of Life arc, Paul's NoHoldsBarredBeatdown on Ash, the sheer savagery of what the Nhilators do to their prisoners, and the fate of the past world. Okay, maybe that tamer statement is a bit of an exaggeration.
