No, because (despite what we tell ourselves about social progress) our world and society aren't that different than the world Huxley lived in and was commenting on.
Dystopian fiction is outlined by an author's attempt to take notable societal patterns in their own time and extend them to their most extreme conclusions (sometimes modulo an interesting plot); one shouldn't be surprised when the most compelling works do a good job of capturing and explicating one aspect or another of the author's society.
