In this episode, we dive into Aldous Huxley’s "Brave New World" — a prophetic vision of a future shaped by pleasure, control, and conformity. From engineered happiness to the cost of individuality, we explore how Huxley’s imagined world mirrors our own pursuit of comfort and progress. Join us as we unpack the questions this classic still dares us to ask: What do we sacrifice for stability — and what does it mean to truly be free?
