Huxley also emphasizes the dangers of “over-organization,” or, the centralized control of society by an oligarchy consisting of “Big Business” and “Big Government.” He regards this centralization as a threat to democracy and individual freedom as well, standardization and conformity in everyday life will become inevitable. Huxley starts with overpopulation, which he sees as humanity’s “central problem.” According to Huxley, the world population has been growing at an alarming rate to the point where births far outnumber deaths this phenomenon puts an enormous strain on resources which will worsen as time goes on. The twelve chapters of Brave New World Revisited (which originated as articles Huxley wrote for Newsday) are each devoted to a different social problem or theme.
