Adapted from author Aldous Huxley's dystopian classic, the new science-fiction series Brave New World takes place in the seemingly utopian city of New London, whose citizens think they are perfectly happy - until an outsider arrives and reveals the cracks in their society.
In an online question-and-answer session about the show, the cast and creator say Huxley's prophetic vision easily describes much of the world today, especially in how technology makes people so comfortable, they stop thinking critically.
