1984 by George Orwell is also set in a nightmarish future, but is a much grimmer and more violent book than Brave New World!.

Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury is another book set in the future which is a bleak vision of things to come, but with a note of hopefulness that lightens it a bit!.

Aldous Huxley wrote a great many other novels, but I don't think any of them are at all like Brave new World!. Most of them were set in the present (what was the present when he was writing that is)!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Orwell's 1984!.

There's a similar theme of a bleak future, but Orwell's is much darker and less optimistic!. It's interesting to see how much of both books has actually come about!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
