When Aldous Huxley wrote "Brave New World", he wasn't trying to predict the future - he was describing his version of Hell. Huxley wrote two books: "The Island" and "Brave New World" - "The Island" was a written description of Huxley's idea of utopia, "Brave New World" was written to describe the opposite.

I guess you could say, we're becoming "Hell on earth".
