Huxleys Brave New World

After reviewing the interview, I think Huxley was intrigued by the potential technology that can strip humans of their individuality. I believe he was envisioning what would happen if the scenarios he described during the interview occurred. Since he was fairly devout to the catholic religion, Huxley must have wanted to create the type of society most contradictory to that belief system. There is where the drugs and sex and disregard for life came from. Also the ideas of overpopulation driving society to communism make the term "everybody belongs to everybody else" quite clear.
