The color black is actually quite the opposite of what it seems. By simply looking at it, one could easily point out that it is a color that is similar to all other colors. The truth is that black isn't a color at all; it's the absence of color that makes it visually look as if it is black. This principle, that what you think you're seeing is actually something else, can be used to apply Huxley's A Brave New World, to today's world.
Today's society is living in a mindset that is leading further into a Utopian society, although they think that they are not. For example, people would in general say that they are not being mind controlled. They are probably being negligent to the subconscious brain washing that occurs through commercials and advertisements. It affects your feelings towards the product, even if slightly and even if the person denies it. Media, technology, and science have all vastly grew and changed the way the world was. We think that were seeing the color black, but we actually are slightly dipping into what could be considered "A Brave New World."
