I read Brave New World for the first time a few months ago. I found it really weird how the most explicit theme of the book is how suffering terribly like the people in the desert reservation is required to make life worthwhile, given the class structure you just pointed out. It was treated as little more than world-building. This is particularly strange considering 2 of the book's protagonists are (in name at least) Marx and gender swapped Lenin.
