Have you read 1984? It's quite useful for discussing the state of the real world.

  I'd also recommend Fahrenheit 451, it seems more in tune with the current social media and entertainment landscape.

  "Brave New World" is what happened, while we all feared "1984".

    The parallels between real life and Brave New World are positively uncanny. Even the demographic dynamics of the real world suggest that we're on the path to a state-driven reproductive system.

  And again, none of it ever happened and it is a work of fiction. It is warning of what might happen, it is a political point author is making. But, none of that stuff happened. It is not how real world oppressions play out in real world. And that is not even criticism, I like that book a lot. I just dont treat it as something factual.
