ALDOUS HUXLEY AND HIS DYSTOPIAN NOVEL THE BRAVE NEW WORLD

Conclusion
In A. Huxley 's artistic world, the anti-utopian component deserves special attention, which is inseparable from the interconnected utopian and anti-utopian traditions. In this regard, the dystopian world from A. Huxley 's novel "Brave New World" cannot be considered without connection with the universe of J. Orwell's novel "1984", outside the context of A. Huxley 's polemic with G. Wells - the author of the utopian novel "People are like gods" and etc.
There is no doubt that the genre of dystopia in our time is becoming increasingly relevant. Many authors of anti-utopian works of the first half of the twentieth century tried to foresee exactly the time in which we live. Huxley himself, in turn, notes: “Brave New World is a book about the future, and, whatever its artistic or philosophical qualities, a book about the future can interest us only if the predictions contained in it tend to come true. From the current point in time in modern history—fifteen years later, our further slide down its inclined plane—do those predictions look justified? Are the predictions made in 1931 confirmed or refuted by the bitter events that have taken place since then ?”
Thus, in this work, the novel "Brave New World" was considered as a unique anti-utopian work that can talk about the future not as something distant, but as inevitably approaching. And as already noted, on the example of dystopias of other English-speaking authors, in this work, the features of the novel by Aldous Huxley were highlighted .
