Huxley's Visions

In Brave New World the people are born from bottles and there can be thousands of babies made at a time. There is a drug called Soma that makes you extremely happy without any side affects. People fly everywhere instead of driving. There is no such thing as families or love. It is meant to be this perfect world where everything is planned out ahead of time and nothing can go wrong. When you're first "born", you have to go through conditioning centers that teach you what to think and what to do throughout your life. There are different classes with different intelligence levels and importance.
To think that back in the 30's someone could have predicted people could be born out of bottles, or in our case, test tubes is crazy. Huxley had no way of knowing that people would one day be able to be born that way or that people could take certain drugs (like, prescription drugs) that give them happiness. I think those are the most realistic two out of all his futuristic predictions. Some children today are born out of test tubes and given to their mothers. Not to mention the fact that we have pharmaceutical breakthroughs all the time...I wouldn't be surprised if something like Soma came out at some point. The most insane prediction he made in my opinion is the extermination of families and literature.
I'm not gonna lie though, it's kind of frightening that this world doesn't seem all that out of reach.
