Much like 1984 by Orwell it doesn't go far enough, both assume there will be humans in control that aren't as strongly or more under the influence of hyper-real superstition, and actively use coercive technologies to keep other people in line without being fully subject to them. It's quite the happy path compared to contemporary 'Reddit occupied government'-style of political governance. One should also note that Aldous Huxley (like his brother) was a eugenicist, and people being distracted from performing their eugenic duties is a fear that echoes in his supposed dystopies. See e.g. https://archive.vanityfair.com/article/1927/10/a-note-on-eugenics https://archive.vanityfair.com/article/1927/10/a-note-on-eug...: "[D]eficients are not only preserved: they are also permitted to multiply their kind."
