Humans as soulless automatons, grown in test tubes, segmented into castes, given happy pills and sex0rz for social control was specifically meant as a parody of the "utopian" views of assclowns like HG Wells and the other 19th century socialist weirdos in the Bloomsbury group. It is, of course, the dystopia we most obviously inhabit in the West.
Fear not; tiring of it, it appears we're going to try Orwell's dystopia next.

Wells, who addresses me as 'you shit', among other things. The Vatican is exchanging diplomatic representatives with Tokyo. The Vatican now has diplomatic relations with all the Axis powers and - I think - with none of the Allies. A bad sign and yet in a sense a good one, in that this last step means they have now definitely decided that the Axis and not we stands for the more reactionary policy."
