Brave New World is rightfully a classic work of science fiction that demonstrates the potential for technology to help us reshape society. Innovation begets change, and change is often disruptive-our future mirrors the past in this respect. In this sense, the distinction between soft and hard science fiction disappears-all science fiction is inherently social, for no matter how much detail goes into describing the technological advances that populate possible futures, the meat of the story is always the effect these technologies have on the people using them.
One of science fiction’s most enduring traits is its ability to ruminate upon the ways in which science and technology allow us to manipulate and re-engineer society.
